Danisha is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Danisha in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Danisha in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Danisha by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Danisha ranks at #7,103. That means there are 7,102 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 Danisha.
In fact, the name Danisha hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Danisha wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1994, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,081, 154 parents chose it in 1994 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Danisha, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Danisha was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Danisha a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 9,733, for a total of 8 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Danisha seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Danisha are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Danisha is registered in 17 states, among which are California, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana or Maryland. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Danisha live in Louisiana, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 30,550 would turn around if you called the name Danisha across Louisiana.
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 seven letters, the name Danisha has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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 Danisha 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...
