Niara is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Niara is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Niara. In the SmartGenius ranking, Niara is #3,873 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 Niara.
In fact, the name Niara hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Niara 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 1998, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,606, 46 parents chose it in 1998 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Niara, 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 Niara was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Niara a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 2,936, for a total of 48 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 Niara seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Niara in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 190 women and girls named Niara, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 190 women and girls named Niara live in no more than 9 different states, including for example California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois and Maryland. In all other 40 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Niara. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Niara lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Niara and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Niara relative to its female population is New York. And even there, only one in 137,165 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Niara.
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 Niara 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 Niara 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...
