The first name 
Faizah

Faizah is a first name for girls.

Faizah – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Faizah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Faizah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Faizah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Faizah ranks at #8,708. That means there are 8,707 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 Faizah.

Girls named Faizah have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 5,695 Faizah ranked higher than ever before in 1987. By comparison, there have been 110 years in which the first name Faizah 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 2010. In general, parents name their daughters Faizah only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!

Faizah -
at home in California and New York

If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Faizah, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in California and New York. 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 Faizah living in one state or another (if your name is Faizah and you live outside of California and New York, 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 2,386,663 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Faizah. So, if your name is Faizah it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Faizah already makes you special.

But what you might not know is: The letter F is quite rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 1.2% of all common girls' names in the US begin with an F.
