Alegra is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Alegra has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Alegra. That means that a girl named Alegra is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Alegra.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Alegra. Girls named Alegra have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 3,918 Alegra ranked higher than ever before in 1988. By comparison, there have been 102 years in which the first name Alegra has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2020. In general, parents name their daughters Alegra only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Alegra was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, Alegra continues to be a precious jewel: 6 newborns were named Alegra that year, ranking #11,784 in the SmartGenius name statistics. If your baby's name is Alegra, you must have a flair for beautiful and rare names: Congratulations, your child is sure to feel unique.
If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Alegra, 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 Alegra living in one state or another (if your name is Alegra 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 648,388 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Alegra. So, if your name is Alegra it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Alegra already makes you special.
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 Alegra 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 Alegra 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...
