Irha is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Irha 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 Irha. In the SmartGenius ranking, Irha is #4,819 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 Irha.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Irha in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 103 women and girls named Irha, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 103 women and girls named Irha live in no more than 6 different states, including for example California, Illinois, Maryland, New York and Texas. In all other 43 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Irha. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Irha lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Irha and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Irha relative to its female population is New York. And even there, only one in 322,522 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Irha.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter I is pretty rare as an initial letter for girls' names: only 1.7% of all common girls' names in the US begin with an I. 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 Irha 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 since 1.7% of all girls’ names begin with an I, this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course single names that begin with an I, which are quite popular
If your name is Irha 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...
