Kiana by the numbers
In 2025, 70 babies in England and Wales were named Kiana. In the US, 279 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 1,585 babies in 1996, so it is a 1990s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1995, about 1 in 1,300 American girls born that year was called Kiana.
What we can tell you about Kiana
