Alivia is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Alivia cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #168 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2009. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Alivia, 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, Alivia 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 Alivia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
1,004 babies were named Alivia in 2022 - that's 1 in 147,641 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Alivia ranked 292 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
Everyone knows her, everyone loves her and still she’s different from the mainstream: Alivia occurs in every single state of the U.S. This may sound quite unspectacular at first, but in fact, of the more than 50,000 different female first names that occur in the USA, just 537 are recorded in each individual state, so the name Alivia is definitely something very special. However, at the same time, since the name does not appear in the top 100 most common first names in any single state, Alivia is not one of those names that one encounters in every neighbourhood, but stands out from the crowd, is noticeable and special without being strange or unknown. From Alaska to Florida, a total of 31,271 women and girls of all generations bear the name Alivia – that is one in 4,930. However, there are considerable regional differences – the name is far more popular than average in Nevada, where one in 2,256 women and girls is called Alivia, while it is particularly rare in Hawaii, where you have to ask an average of 88,259 women for their name to get Alivia as an answer once.
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.

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 Alivia 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?
