Adelia is a female first name.
Adelia is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 2,036 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 2,035 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Adelia.
For more than 140 years, parents decide to name their daughter Adelia annualy. This means that there have been girls named Adelia who witnessed the first Labor Day parade in the U.S. or followed Albert Einstein's career. The name has 'always been there', but never ranked in the top 100, and thus women named Adelia have consistently been special. The name was particularly popular a long time ago in the 19th century. In one particular year, long before the first passenger flight and even before there was the first real radio, parents liked Adelia even more than any other time: in 1884, it holds its present record of rank #315 in the list of the most popular girls' names.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Adelia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Adelia has never been ranked higher than #315. In 2022, she rivaled the 2,141 names that preceded her on the list. In total, 76 girls named Adelia were born in that year. For comparison: 30 years earlier, in 1992, when possibly the parents of the now very young Adelia were born, there have been 9 newborns who received this name.
The odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Adelia are about the same as betting on heads or tails in a coin toss. This girl’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet girls and women with the name Adelia in 21 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida or Idaho. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Adelia live in Texas – here, one in 38,375 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 158,125 will turn around if you call her first name Adelia.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is the most popular first letter for girls’ names. 11.8% of all common girls’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in girls' names is S.
With six letters, the name Adelia is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are 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.
