Damyah is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Damyah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Damyah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Damyah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Damyah ranks at #7,556. That means there are 7,555 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 Damyah.
If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Damyah, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in Illinois and Ohio. 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 Damyah living in one state or another (if your name is Damyah and you live outside of Illinois and Ohio, 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 756,870 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Damyah. So, if your name is Damyah it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Damyah already makes you special.
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 Damyah 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 Damyah 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...
