Gracia is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Gracia in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Gracia in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Gracia by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Gracia ranks at #5,986. That means there are 5,985 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 Gracia.
Gracia is not an overly common name, in fact in some of the last 143 years it has been given so infrequently that it doesn't even show up in our statistics (here a name is only recorded in those years in which it was given to newborns at least five times). This was, for example, most recently the case in 1968, where the name Gracia was given at most four times in the entire USA, perhaps even less or not even once. (If you are Gracia and were born in the USA in 1968, please get in touch with us!) Before that, however, there was a time when the name was significantly more popular - way back in the 19th century, Gracia even made it into the top 1,000 of our SmartGenius statistics of the most popular girls' names: In 1887, it ranked on position 693 - a popularity it has never reached again since then.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Gracia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Although the name Gracia has a changeful history, it has clearly arrived in the present. In 2022, the name was given by young parents to their newborn children a remarkable 8 times and thus landed on position 9,733 in the SmartGenius ranking of the currently most popular female first names. However, the name is still so rare that the 8 girls with the name Gracia, who are celebrating their second birthday this year, can rightly feel very special, because it is highly likely that in their kindergarten they will be the only children with this name.
The first name Gracia is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 77 Americans in total bear this name. And these 77 women are located in only five states: California, Massachusetts, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin (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 Gracia 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 Gracia in relation to it’s female population is Texas. And yet even there, only one in 280,138 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Gracia.
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 six letters, the name Gracia is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.
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.
If your name is Gracia 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...
