Briah is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Briah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Briah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Briah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Briah ranks at #5,463. That means there are 5,462 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 Briah.
In fact, the name Briah hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Briah 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 1997, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 3,018, 35 parents chose it in 1997 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Briah, 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 Briah was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Briah a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 6,652, for a total of 14 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 Briah seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Briah, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in California and Florida. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if tehre are at least five people with that name living there – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Briah living in one state or another (if your name is Briah and you live outside of California and Florida, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know, so we can refine our statistics even further). Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 982,047 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Briah. So, if your name is Briah it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Briah already makes you special.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: 3.2% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a B. This means that B as the first letter for girls' names is neither particularly common nor rare. The most common first letters of girls' names are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.
With five letters, the name Briah 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.
Thus, if 3.2% of all girls’ names start with a B, this initial letter is slightly less common than all other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are girls' names with B that are quite common in the U.S., the most common at present is Barbara.
If your name is Briah 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 Briah, you can simply say:
Butterfly
Rocket
Igloo
Apple
Hat

In the navy, sailors of two ships might wave flags to each other to send messages. A sailor holds two flags in specific positions to represent different letters.
