The first name 
Chiara

Chiara is a first name for girls.

Chiara is a well-known but special name!

Chiara 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 1,365 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,364 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 Chiara.

Chiara -
keeping with the times

Chiara is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Chiara cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #994 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2002. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Chiara, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their daughter. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Chiara seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Chiara was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
