Alajah is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Alajah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Alajah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Alajah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Alajah ranks at #6,425. That means there are 6,424 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 Alajah.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Alajah in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 80 women and girls named Alajah, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 80 women and girls named Alajah live in no more than 6 different states, including for example California, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ohio. In all other 43 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Alajah. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Alajah lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Alajah and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Alajah relative to its female population is Louisiana. And even there, only one in 79,969 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Alajah.
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 Alajah 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.
If your name is Alajah and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
