Parisa is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Parisa 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 Parisa. In the SmartGenius ranking, Parisa is #4,483 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 Parisa.
In fact, the name Parisa hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Parisa 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 1986, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,657, 32 parents chose it in 1986 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Parisa, 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 Parisa was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Parisa a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 4,219, for a total of 28 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 Parisa seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The first name Parisa is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 270 Americans in total bear this name. And these 270 women are located in only four states: California, Illinois, New York and Virginia (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 Parisa 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 Parisa in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 61,624 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Parisa.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter P is quite rare as an initial letter for girls' names: only 1.6% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a P, which means that this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. Nevertheless, P is by no means the rarest initial. While A, S and M are the most common first letters of girls' names, Q, X and U are the least common initials of feminine first names.
With six letters, the name Parisa 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.
That means that since 1.6% of all girls’ names begin with a P, this initial occurs less than half as often as the other letters on average. By the way, of the comparatively few girls' names that begin with a P, Patricia is currently the most common.
If your name is Parisa 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...
