Meeting a woman or girl named Malaiya is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Malaiya can be found in only two: Georgia and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Malaiya. 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 Malaiya living in one state or another (if your name is Malaiya and you live outside of Georgia or Texas, 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 Malaiya is in Georgia, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Georgia, only 0.00024% of all female residents are named Malaiya – that’s just one in 416,029! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 28 women with that name. So, if your name is Malaiya, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.
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 seven letters, the name Malaiya has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more.
