Kaila is a first name for girls.
Kaila is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,405 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,404 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Kaila.
Kaila is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Kaila - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 357 in 1991. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Kaila really in tune with her generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Kaila was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
112 babies were named Kaila in 2022 - that's 1 in 1,323,499 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Kaila ranked 1,635 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter K is a real popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 7.5% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A, S and M are more common for girls' names.
With five letters, the name Kaila 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 if 7.5% of all girls' names start with a K, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average. Interesting detail: of all the girls' names that begin with a K, Karen is the most common.
If your name is Kaila 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...

In the navy, sailors of two ships might wave flags to each other to send messages. A sailor holds two flags in specific positions to represent different letters.
