Ashia is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Ashia in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Ashia in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Ashia by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Ashia ranks at #7,343. That means there are 7,342 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 Ashia.
In fact, the name Ashia hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Ashia wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1990, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,359, 109 parents chose it in 1990 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Ashia, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Ashia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Ashia a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 8,408, for a total of 10 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Ashia seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Ashia 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 Ashia in 20 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia or Illinois. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Ashia live in North Carolina – here, one in 94,105 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 211,775 will turn around if you call her first name Ashia.
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 Ashia 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 Ashia 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...
