Evah is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Evah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Evah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Evah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Evah ranks at #5,046. That means there are 5,045 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Evah.
Is the name Evah a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1887 – at that time, it landed at position 960 with 6 newborn girls receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Evah 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 Evah, 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 Evah was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Welcome, Evah, to 2022. Even if your highest rank is long ago, 14 parents welcomed a new Evah to earth that year. That makes Evah ranking on position 6,652 among newborn girls in the SmartGenius statistics. If you know someone named Evah who was born in 2022, you know someone truly special.
The first name Evah is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 35 Americans in total bear this name. And these 35 women are located in only three states: California, Florida 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 Evah 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 Evah in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 596,517 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Evah.
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 four letters, the name Evah is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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.
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 Evah 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 Evah, you can simply say:
