Israa is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Israa 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 Israa. In the SmartGenius ranking, Israa is #4,533 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 Israa.
In fact, the name Israa did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Israa seemed to be more popular than ever in 2017. Although the name never ranked higher than #3,304, 41 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Israa, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Israa was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Israa a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #4,671 - with a total of 24 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
The first name Israa is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 48 Americans in total bear this name. And these 48 women are located in only five states: California, Florida, Michigan, New York and Ohio (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 Israa 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 Israa in relation to it’s female population is Michigan. And yet even there, only one in 274,930 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Israa.
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 five letters, the name Israa is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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 Israa 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Israa, you can simply say:
