Rashida is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
Recently, the name Rashida has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Rashida. That means that a girl named Rashida is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Rashida.
Is the name Rashida a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1977, when it ranked #524 with 338 newborn girls receiving this special first name. In times of emerging digitalization, it thus experienced its last peak. Since Rashida is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their daughter this unusual name. So, if your name is Rashida, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Rashida was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

This girl’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet girls and women with the name Rashida in 21 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida or Georgia. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Rashida live in New York – here, one in 24,554 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 85,794 will turn around if you call her first name Rashida.
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 seven letters, the name Rashida has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.
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 Rashida 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...
