Elleigh is a female first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Elleigh is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Elleigh. In the SmartGenius ranking, Elleigh is #3,640 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Elleigh.
The first name Elleigh is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 34 Americans in total bear this name. And these 34 women are located in only three states: Alabama, Georgia and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Elleigh and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Elleigh in relation to it’s female population is Georgia. And yet even there, only one in 378,208 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Elleigh.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter E is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 3.9% of all common 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, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.
With seven letters, the name Elleigh 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.
That means that with 3.9%, E as the first letter in girls' names is almost as common as all 26 letters on average - and of all the girls' names that start with an E, Elizabeth is the most common.
If your name is Elleigh 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...
