Daneisha is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Daneisha has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Daneisha. That means that a girl named Daneisha is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Daneisha.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Daneisha. Girls named Daneisha have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,918 Daneisha ranked higher than ever before in 1994. By comparison, there have been 109 years in which the first name Daneisha has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Daneisha only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Daneisha was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Daneisha in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 59 women and girls named Daneisha, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 59 women and girls named Daneisha live in no more than 7 different states, including for example California, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana and New York. In all other 42 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Daneisha. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Daneisha lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Daneisha and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Daneisha relative to its female population is Louisiana. And even there, only one in 181,264 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Daneisha.
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 eight letters, the name Daneisha is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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 Daneisha 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...

Dinosaur
Apple
Nut
