Daliah is a female first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Daliah 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 Daliah. In the SmartGenius ranking, Daliah is #3,215 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 Daliah.
The first name Daliah is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 241 Americans in total bear this name. And these 241 women are located in only five states: California, Florida, Illinois, New York and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Daliah and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Daliah in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 96,837 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Daliah.
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 six letters, the name Daliah is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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 Daliah 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...
