Makia is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Makia in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Makia in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Makia by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Makia ranks at #10,029. That means there are 10,028 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 Makia.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Makia.

By comparison, there have been 96 years in which the first name Makia has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Makia only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!

It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Makia 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 111 women and girls named Makia, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 111 women and girls named Makia live in no more than 9 different states, including for example Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. In all other 40 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Makia. (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 Makia lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Makia 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 Makia relative to its female population is Illinois. And even there, only one in 244,151 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Makia.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter M is a quite popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 8.5% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A and S are more common for girls' names.
With five letters, the name Makia 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.
Therefore: As 8.5% of all girls' names start with an M, this initial letter occurs nearly 2.5-times as often as all 26 letters on average – and the most common one of all the girls’ names starting with M is Mary.
If your name is Makia 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...
