The first name 
Galileah

Galileah is a first name for girls.

Galileah – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Galileah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Galileah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Galileah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Galileah ranks at #6,222. That means there are 6,221 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 Galileah.

Galileah -
at home in California and Texas

If you ever wanted to meet a girl or a woman named Galileah, you have limited options – because girls with this beautiful name are currently living in California and Texas. 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 Galileah living in one state or another (if your name is Galileah and you live outside of California and Texas, 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 203,737 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Galileah. So, if your name is Galileah it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Galileah already makes you special.

Galileah has 8 letters 
and begins with a G

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter G is quite rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 2.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a G. The most common first letters for girls' names are A and S, while U and X are the least common first letters of girls' names.

With eight letters, the name Galileah is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

This means that if 2.1% of all girls' names begin with a G, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course some names that begin with a G and are extremely popular, for example Grace, currently the most common girls' name with G.

Other names with 
G, a, l, i, l, e, a and h

If you take all the letters in the name Galileah – G, a, l, i, l, e, a and h – and put them together again, you can form another name, such as Alleigha.
