The first name 
Khara

Khara is a female first name.

Khara – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Khara 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 Khara. That means that a girl named Khara 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 Khara.

Khara -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Khara in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 71 women and girls named Khara, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 71 women and girls named Khara live in no more than 7 different states, including for example California, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts and New York. In all other 43 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Khara. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Khara lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Khara and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Khara relative to its female population is Illinois. And even there, only one in 470,336 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Khara.

Khara 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 Khara 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.
