Annah is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Annah is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Annah. In the SmartGenius ranking, Annah is #4,304 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 Annah.
If your name is Annah your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Annah never ranked higher than position 1,173 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Annah. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1888 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Annah because that was a veeeeery long time ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Annah was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Annah still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 24 times in the entire U.S. So, a Annah from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Annah are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Annah is registered in 13 states, among which are Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois or Indiana. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Annah live in Mississippi, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 175,004 would turn around if you called the name Annah across Mississippi.
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 Annah 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 Annah 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...
