Radha is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Radha 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 Radha. In the SmartGenius ranking, Radha is #4,652 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 Radha.
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 Radha. Girls named Radha have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 3,377 Radha ranked higher than ever before in 1976. By comparison, there have been 93 years in which the first name Radha 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 1982. In general, parents name their daughters Radha only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Radha was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, Radha continues to be a precious jewel: 17 newborns were named Radha that year, ranking #5,851 in the SmartGenius name statistics. If your baby's name is Radha, you must have a flair for beautiful and rare names: Congratulations, your child is sure to feel unique.
The first name Radha is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 117 Americans in total bear this name. And these 117 women are located in only five states: California, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas (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 Radha 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 Radha in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 233,014 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Radha.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R 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. 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 Radha 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 if 4.1% of all girls' names start with an R, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Rebecca is the girls’ name starting with R, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Radha 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Radha, you can simply say:
