Nyra is a first name for girls.
Nyra 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 1,539 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,538 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 Nyra.
Nyra is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Nyra cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #765 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2021. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Nyra, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their daughter. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Nyra seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Nyra was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
273 babies were named Nyra in 2022 - that's 1 in 542,974 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Nyra ranked 874 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Nyra 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 Nyra is registered in 19 states, among which are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida or Georgia. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Nyra live in New Jersey, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 39,704 would turn around if you called the name Nyra across New Jersey.
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 four letters, the name Nyra is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 Nyra 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...
