Nadya is a female first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Nadya is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Nadya. In the SmartGenius ranking, Nadya is #2,814 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Nadya.
In fact, the name Nadya hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Nadya wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1999, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,429, 112 parents chose it in 1999 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Nadya, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Nadya was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Nadya a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 3,438, for a total of 38 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Nadya seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Nadya are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Nadya is registered in 16 states, among which are Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida or Georgia. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Nadya live in California, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 32,704 would turn around if you called the name Nadya across California.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter N is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.
With five letters, the name Nadya 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.
Thus, it follows that with 4.1% of all girls' names starting with an N, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. Nevertheless, there are girls' names with N that are quite common, the most common in the U.S. at present is Nancy.
If your name is Nadya 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...
