Malayiah is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Malayiah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Malayiah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Malayiah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Malayiah ranks at #4,907. That means there are 4,906 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 Malayiah.
The first name Malayiah is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 23 Americans in total bear this name. And these 23 women are located in only four states: Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas (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 Malayiah 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 Malayiah in relation to it’s female population is Louisiana. And yet even there, only one in 453,160 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Malayiah.
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 eight letters, the name Malayiah is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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 Malayiah 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...
