The first name 
Rasha

Rasha is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.

Rasha – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Rasha in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Rasha in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Rasha by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Rasha ranks at #9,188. That means there are 9,187 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Rasha.

Rasha -
special from day one

In fact, the name Rasha hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Rasha 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 1992, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 3,216, 31 parents chose it in 1992 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Rasha, 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 Rasha was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Rasha - originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Rasha a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 13,280, for a total of 5 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 Rasha seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.

Rasha -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

The first name Rasha is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 27 Americans in total bear this name. And these 27 women are located in only four states: Illinois, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania (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 Rasha 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 Rasha in relation to it’s female population is Michigan. And yet even there, only one in 824,790 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Rasha.

Rasha has 5 letters 
and begins with an R

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 Rasha 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.

Other names with
