The first name 
Meliza

Meliza is a first name for girls.

Meliza – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Meliza has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Meliza. That means that a girl named Meliza is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Meliza.

Meliza -
once in a blue moon

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 be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Meliza. Girls named Meliza have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 2,388 Meliza ranked higher than ever before in 1997. By comparison, there have been 88 years in which the first name Meliza 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 2021. In general, parents name their daughters Meliza only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!

In years where the graph has no value, the name Meliza was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Meliza is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 375 Americans in total bear this name. And these 375 women are located in only four states: California, Illinois, New York 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 Meliza 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 Meliza in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 56,488 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Meliza.

Meliza has 6 letters 
and begins with an M

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 six letters, the name Meliza is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. 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.

Other names with 
M, e, l, i, z and a

If you take all the letters in the name Meliza – M, e, l, i, z and a – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Malzie or others.
