Kalia

Kalia is a first name for girls.

Kalia is a well-known but special name!

Kalia 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 1,156 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,155 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 Kalia.

Kalia -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Kalia 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), Kalia seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,031, 213 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Kalia, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Kalia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Kalia has 5 letters 
and begins with a K

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 Kalia 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.
