#916
counting every spelling

The SSA counts spellings, not names. Nyana went to 9 girls in 2025, but Niyana, Niana and Nianna and the rest below are the same name said out loud. Together the 5 spellings went to 44, which makes it the 916th most-given girls’ name of the year — 9,191 places above the chart.

  • Niyana10
  • Niana9
  • Nianna9
  • Nyana9
  • Nyanna7

About 1 girl in 36,529 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 178,585 for Nyana itself.

Spellings are grouped by a fixed rule that folds interchangeable English spellings of one sound (ck/k, ph/f, x/ks, a non-initial y for i) and keeps vowels apart, so Sean and Shawn stay separate names. It errs towards splitting: a family here is never larger than the truth. SSA national data, 2025. Method

The Rosaly test

Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Nyana's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Rosaly climbed just as high around 1937, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Rosaly's path sketches the road Nyana is walking now.
