The first name 
Dosha

Dosha is a female first name.

Dosha – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Dosha 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 Dosha. That means that a girl named Dosha 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 Dosha.

Dosha -
a Dinosaur?

Is the name Dosha a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1882 – at that time, it landed at position 600 with 9 newborn girls receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Dosha is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always think to give their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Dosha, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, your name is what makes you stand out these days!

In years where the graph has no value, the name Dosha was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Dosha -
at home in

If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Dosha, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in . However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if tehre are at least five people with that name living there – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Dosha living in one state or another (if your name is Dosha and you live outside of , we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know, so we can refine our statistics even further). Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 243,329 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Dosha. So, if your name is Dosha it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Dosha already makes you special.

Dosha has 5 letters 
and begins with a D

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 five letters, the name Dosha is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. 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.
