In the entire United States there are currently a total of 168 women and girls named Dariyah, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 168 women and girls named Dariyah live in no more than 8 different states, including for example Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana and Mississippi. In all other 41 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Dariyah. (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 Dariyah lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Dariyah 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 Dariyah relative to its female population is Florida. And even there, only one in 111,596 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Dariyah.
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 Dariyah 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.
