The first name 
Annaliyah

Annaliyah is a first name for girls.

Annaliyah – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Annaliyah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Annaliyah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Annaliyah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Annaliyah ranks at #5,692. That means there are 5,691 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Annaliyah.

If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Annaliyah, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in California and Texas. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if tehre are at least five people with that name living there – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Annaliyah living in one state or another (if your name is Annaliyah and you live outside of California and Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know, so we can refine our statistics even further). Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 372,823 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Annaliyah.

On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

That means that if 11.8% of all girls' names start with an A, this initial letter occurs over three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the girls' names that begin with the letter A, the name Ashley is the most common.
