Daja is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Daja in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Daja in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Daja by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Daja ranks at #7,343. That means there are 7,342 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 Daja.
Daja is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Daja - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 784 in 1996. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Daja really in tune with her generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Daja was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
5 babies were named Daja in 2022 - that's 1 in 29,646,380 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Daja ranked 13,280 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
The odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Daja are about the same as betting on heads or tails in a coin toss. This girl’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet girls and women with the name Daja in 21 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida or Georgia. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Daja live in Louisiana – here, one in 26,920 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 114,883 will turn around if you call her first name Daja.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter D is quite common as an initial letter for girls' names. To be precise, 5.6% of all girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M.
With four letters, the name Daja 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.
Therefore: As 5.6% of all girls' names start with D, this initial letter occurs much more often than all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: of all the names that begin with a D, Dorothy is the most common.
If your name is Daja 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...
