The first name 
Lidya

Lidya is a first name for girls.

Lidya – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Lidya in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Lidya in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Lidya by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Lidya ranks at #7,737. That means there are 7,736 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Lidya.

Lidya -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Lidya 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), Lidya seemed to be more popular than ever in 2015. Although the name never ranked higher than #5,982, 18 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Lidya, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

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

Lidya in 2022 – originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Lidya a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #6,652 - with a total of 14 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.

Lidya -
at home in California and Florida

Meeting a woman or girl named Lidya is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Lidya can be found in only two: California and Florida. No other state currently has residents named Lidya. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Lidya living in one state or another (if your name is Lidya and you live outside of California or Florida, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Lidya is in Florida, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Florida, only 0.00010% of all female residents are named Lidya – that’s just one in 982,047! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 15 women with that name. So, if your name is Lidya, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.

Lidya has 5 letters 
and begins with an L

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names – 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A and S.

With five letters, the name Lidya 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 with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with an L, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. If you are now wondering which girls' name with L is the most common... the answer is Linda.
