Ashli is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Ashli in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Ashli in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Ashli by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Ashli ranks at #9,641. That means there are 9,640 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 Ashli.
Ashli is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Ashli - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 584 in 1989. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Ashli really in tune with her generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Ashli was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
7 babies were named Ashli in 2022 - that's 1 in 21,175,986 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Ashli ranked 10,613 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
You may not know anyone named Ashli, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 37 states are home to women and girls named Ashli. (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 Ashli living in one state or another. If your name is Ashli 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 Texas, which has the most people named Ashli relative to the population, you still have to ask 17,591 women and girls their names before you hear Ashli 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 Ashli 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 Ashli 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Ashli, you can simply say:

Sun
Hat
Lion
