Kareema is a female first name.
Recently, the name Kareema has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Kareema. That means that a girl named Kareema is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Kareema.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Kareema. Girls named Kareema have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 2,472 Kareema ranked higher than ever before in 1984. By comparison, there have been 98 years in which the first name Kareema has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Kareema only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Kareema was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Kareema is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 299 Americans in total bear this name. And these 299 women are located in only three states: New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania (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 Kareema 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 Kareema in relation to it’s female population is Pennsylvania. And yet even there, only one in 49,886 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Kareema.
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 Kareema 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 Kareema 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Kareema, you can simply say:
