Iza is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Iza in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Iza in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Iza by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Iza ranks at #6,073. That means there are 6,072 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 Iza.
Is the name Iza a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1882 – at that time, it landed at position 859 with 5 newborn girls receiving this special first name. This was the last peak in a world without airplanes, computers, rock music, or even television. Because Iza is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always think to give their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Iza, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, your name is what makes you stand out these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Iza was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Welcome, Iza, to 2022. Even if your highest rank is long ago, 25 parents welcomed a new Iza to earth that year. That makes Iza ranking on position 4,546 among newborn girls in the SmartGenius statistics. If you know someone named Iza who was born in 2022, you know someone truly special.
The first name Iza is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 57 Americans in total bear this name. And these 57 women are located in only three states: California, Florida and Texas (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 Iza 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 Iza in relation to it’s female population is Texas. And yet even there, only one in 320,158 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Iza.
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 only three letters, the name Iza 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.
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 Iza 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 Iza, you can simply say:
