Ania is a female first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Ania is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 5 out of 100,000 girls have been named Ania. In the SmartGenius ranking, Ania is #2,128 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Ania.
In fact, the name Ania did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Ania seemed to be more popular than ever in 2004. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,193, 168 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Ania, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Ania was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Ania a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #2,426 - with a total of 63 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
The odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Ania 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 Ania in 21 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida or Georgia. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Ania live in Florida – here, one in 41,612 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 99,466 will turn around if you call her first name Ania.
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 four letters, the name Ania is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four letters. 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 Ania 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...
