Anisa is a female first name.
Anisa is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,791 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,790 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Anisa.
Anisa is a quite familiar phenomenon. Before 1900, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. It took a while, but then, unexpectedly, Anisa cried out for attention, reaching rank 963 in 1967. So, schoolkids of the late 19th century probably didn't have classmates named Anisa and it has never reached the top 100 list in our statistics, but for a while it became more and more fashionable in the last century, which makes Anisa really in tune with her generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Anisa was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
80 babies were named Anisa in 2022 - that's 1 in 1,852,899 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Anisa ranked 2,063 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which first records are available.
You may not know anyone named Anisa, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 25 states are home to women and girls named Anisa. (To be fair, 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 entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Anisa living in one state or another. If your name is Anisa and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Arizona, which has the most people named Anisa relative to the population, you still have to ask 10,459 women and girls their names before you hear Anisa as an answer just 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.
With five letters, the name Anisa is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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 Anisa 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...
