Aleia is a first name for girls.
Aleia 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 1,593 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,592 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 Aleia.
Aleia is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Aleia cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #939 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2020. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Aleia, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their daughter. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Aleia seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Aleia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
225 babies were named Aleia in 2022 - that's 1 in 658,808 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Aleia ranked 995 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
The odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Aleia 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 Aleia in 24 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado or Connecticut. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Aleia live in Hawaii – here, one in 15,761 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 171,876 will turn around if you call her first name Aleia.
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 five letters, the name Aleia is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. 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 Aleia 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...
