Alyshia is a female first name.
Recently, the name Alyshia has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Alyshia. That means that a girl named Alyshia is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Alyshia.
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 Alyshia. Girls named Alyshia have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,395 Alyshia ranked higher than ever before in 1990. By comparison, there have been 97 years in which the first name Alyshia 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 Alyshia only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Alyshia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

More precisely, the first name Alyshia is registered in 11 states, among which are California, Florida, Michigan, Missouri or New York. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Alyshia live in California, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 229,429 would turn around if you called the name Alyshia across California.
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 Alyshia 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 Alyshia 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...
