Isa is a first name for all genders.
Few children have been named Isa in recent years. Although it is used several times each year, only approximately 6 out of 100,000 children are currently called Isa. Whether you’re a boy or a girl, you will most likely be the only person with the special name Isa at your school. In our SmartGenius ranking, Isa is number *** on the list of most common first names.
For more than 140 years, parents decide to name their child Isa annualy. This means that there have been kids named Isa who witnessed the first Labor Day parade in the U.S. or followed Albert Einstein's career. The name has 'always been there', but never ranked in the top 100, and thus people named Isa have consistently been special. The name was particularly popular a long time ago in the 19th century. In one particular year, long before the first passenger flight and even before there was the first real radio, parents liked Isa even more than any other time: in 1881, it holds its present record of rank #811 in the list of the most popular first names.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Isa was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Isa has never been ranked higher than #811. In 2022, it rivaled the 2,053 names that preceded it on the list. In total, 102 kids named Isa were born in that year. For comparison: 30 years earlier, in 1992, when possibly the parents of the now very young Isa were born, there have been 49 newborns who received this name.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter I is quite rare as an initial letter for first names: only 1.6% of all common first names in the US begin with I, which means that this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. But I is by no means the rarest initial. While U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names, the most common first letters of given names are A, J and K.
With only three letters, the name Isa is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three 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.
From this follows that if 1.5% of all first names begin with an I, this initial letter is significantly less common than the other letters on average.
If your name is Isa 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...
