Meera is a female first name.
Meera is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,202 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,201 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Meera.
In fact, the name Meera 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), Meera seemed to be more popular than ever in 2021. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,041, 210 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Meera, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Meera was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Meera a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #1,157 - with a total of 187 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.
The odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Meera are about the same as betting on heads or tails in a coin toss. This girl’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet girls and women with the name Meera in 21 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida or Georgia. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Meera live in New Jersey – here, one in 19,667 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 74,950 will turn around if you call her first name Meera.
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 Meera 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 Meera 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...
