Delisha is a female first name.
Recently, the name Delisha 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 Delisha. That means that a girl named Delisha 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 Delisha.
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 Delisha. Girls named Delisha have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 2,092 Delisha ranked higher than ever before in 1989. By comparison, there have been 95 years in which the first name Delisha 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 Delisha 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 Delisha 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 Delisha 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 83 women and girls named Delisha, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 83 women and girls named Delisha live in no more than 6 different states, including for example Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan and Mississippi. In all other 43 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Delisha. (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 Delisha lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Delisha 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 Delisha relative to its female population is Louisiana. And even there, only one in 169,935 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Delisha.
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 Delisha 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 Delisha 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 Delisha, you can simply say:
Dinosaur
Elephant
Lion
Igloo
Sun
Hat
