Alethia is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Alethia in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Alethia in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Alethia by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Alethia ranks at #6,150. That means there are 6,149 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 Alethia.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Alethia 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 435 women and girls named Alethia, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 435 women and girls named Alethia live in no more than 9 different states, including for example California, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey and New York. In all other 40 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Alethia. (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 Alethia lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Alethia 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 Alethia relative to its female population is South Carolina. And even there, only one in 10,195 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Alethia.
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 seven letters, the name Alethia has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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 Alethia 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...
