Briza is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Briza is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Briza. In the SmartGenius ranking, Briza is #4,746 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 Briza.
In fact, the name Briza 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), Briza seemed to be more popular than ever in 2000. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,617, 101 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Briza, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Briza was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Briza a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #9,013 - with a total of 9 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Briza 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 Briza is registered in 12 states, among which are Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida or Georgia. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Briza live in Texas, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 45,551 would turn around if you called the name Briza across Texas.
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 Briza 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 Briza 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...
