Kaleyah is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Kaleyah 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 Kaleyah. In the SmartGenius ranking, Kaleyah is #4,735 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 Kaleyah.
The first name Kaleyah is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 15 Americans in total bear this name. And these 15 women are located in only three states: Georgia, Texas and Virginia (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 Kaleyah 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 Kaleyah in relation to it’s female population is Virginia. And yet even there, only one in 690,645 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Kaleyah.
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 seven letters, the name Kaleyah has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. 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 Kaleyah 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...
