Jorja is a female first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Jorja is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Jorja. In the SmartGenius ranking, Jorja is #2,849 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 Jorja.
Jorja is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Jorja cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #930 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2006. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Jorja, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their daughter. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Jorja seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jorja was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
46 babies were named Jorja in 2022 - that's 1 in 3,222,433 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Jorja ranked 3,037 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
You may not know anyone named Jorja, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 31 states are home to women and girls named Jorja. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Jorja living in one state or another. If your name is Jorja and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Washington, which has the most people named Jorja relative to the population, you still have to ask 39,361 women and girls their names before you hear Jorja as an answer just once.
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 five letters, the name Jorja 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.
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 Jorja 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...
