Myriah is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Myriah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Myriah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Myriah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Myriah ranks at #5,730. That means there are 5,729 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 Myriah.
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 Myriah. Girls named Myriah have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,199 Myriah ranked higher than ever before in 1991. By comparison, there have been 93 years in which the first name Myriah 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 Myriah only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!

In 2022, Myriah continues to be a precious jewel: 11 newborns were named Myriah that year, ranking #7,858 in the SmartGenius name statistics. If your baby's name is Myriah, you must have a flair for beautiful and rare names: Congratulations, your child is sure to feel unique.

More precisely, the first name Myriah is registered in 13 states, among which are California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia or Illinois. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Myriah live in Texas, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 91,102 would turn around if you called the name Myriah across Texas.
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 Myriah 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.
If your name is Myriah 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...
