Asma is a female first name.
Asma 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 1,972 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,971 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 Asma.
In fact, the name Asma 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), Asma seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,727, 104 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Asma, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Asma was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Asma 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 Asma is registered in 14 states, among which are California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois or Michigan. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Asma live in Minnesota, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 18,614 would turn around if you called the name Asma across Minnesota.
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 Asma 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 Asma 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...
