Azra is a first name for girls, occasionally also given to boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Azra is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Azra. In the SmartGenius ranking, Azra is #2,750 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 Azra.
In fact, the name Azra 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), Azra seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #2,031, 82 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Azra, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Azra 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 Azra 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 Azra is registered in 10 states, among which are California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts or Minnesota. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Azra live in New Jersey, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 89,546 would turn around if you called the name Azra across New Jersey.
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 Azra 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 Azra 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...
