Dashia is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Dashia 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 Dashia. That means that a girl named Dashia 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 Dashia.
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 Dashia. Girls named Dashia have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,775 Dashia ranked higher than ever before in 1995. By comparison, there have been 100 years in which the first name Dashia 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 Dashia 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 Dashia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Dashia 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 Dashia is registered in 11 states, among which are Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois or Louisiana. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Dashia live in South Carolina, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 200,194 would turn around if you called the name Dashia across South Carolina.
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 Dashia 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 Dashia 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Dashia, you can simply say:
