Kilah is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Kilah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Kilah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Kilah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Kilah ranks at #8,560. That means there are 8,559 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer.
In fact, the name Kilah 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), Kilah seemed to be more popular than ever in 2004. Although the name never ranked higher than #5,368, 20 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Kilah, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Kilah was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Kilah a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #9,013 - with a total of 9 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
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 Kilah 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.
If your name is Kilah 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 Kilah, you can simply say:
