Jala is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Jala in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Jala in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Jala by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Jala ranks at #5,001. That means there are 5,000 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 Jala.
In fact, the name Jala 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), Jala seemed to be more popular than ever in 2001. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,120, 172 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Jala, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jala was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Jala a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #9,013 - with a total of 9 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 odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Jala are about the same as betting on heads or tails in a coin toss. This girl’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet girls and women with the name Jala in 20 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia or Illinois. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Jala live in Georgia – here, one in 32,002 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 154,792 will turn around if you call her first name Jala.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter J is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names. That’s because 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A, S and M.
With four letters, the name Jala 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.
This means that with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with the letter J, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. And Jennifer is the girls' name starting with J, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Jala 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...
