The first name 
Alorah

Alorah is a first name for girls.

Alorah – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Alorah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Alorah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Alorah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Alorah ranks at #5,274. That means there are 5,273 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 Alorah.

No other state currently has residents named Alorah. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Alorah living in one state or another. (If your name is Alorah and you live outside of Florida or Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Alorah is in Florida, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Florida, only 0.00012% of all female residents are called Alorah – that’s just one in 804,909! And even in all the states, Florida and Texas, combined there are only a total of 12 women going by that name. So, if your name is Alorah, chances are you will never meet another woman sharing your beautiful first name.
