Allysa is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Allysa in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Allysa in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Allysa by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Allysa ranks at #7,917. That means there are 7,916 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 Allysa.
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 Allysa. Girls named Allysa have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,144 Allysa ranked higher than ever before in 1998. By comparison, there have been 98 years in which the first name Allysa 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 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Allysa only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!

The odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Allysa 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 Allysa in 20 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois or Iowa. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Allysa live in California – here, one in 49,545 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 145,858 will turn around if you call her first name Allysa.
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 Allysa 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 Allysa 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...
