Loa is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Loa in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Loa in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Loa by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Loa ranks at #8,114. That means there are 8,113 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 Loa.
If your name is Loa your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Loa never ranked higher than position 1,051 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Loa. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1894 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Loa because that was a veeeeery long time ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Loa was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Loa still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 20 times in the entire U.S. So, a Loa from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
The first name Loa is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 54 Americans in total bear this name. And these 54 women are located in only three states: California, Ohio and Utah (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 Loa 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 Loa in relation to it’s female population is Utah. And yet even there, only one in 27,162 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Loa.
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 only three letters, the name Loa is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three 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.
If your name is Loa 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 Loa, you can simply say:
