Khaliyah is a female first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Khaliyah is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 girls have been named Khaliyah. In the SmartGenius ranking, Khaliyah is #2,470 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 Khaliyah.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Khaliyah are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Khaliyah is registered in 15 states, among which are Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia or Illinois. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Khaliyah live in Florida, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 50,621 would turn around if you called the name Khaliyah across Florida.
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 eight letters, the name Khaliyah is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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 Khaliyah 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...
