Raza is a first name for boys.
Recently, the name Raza 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 boy in 100,000 has been named Raza. That means that a boy named Raza is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life.
In fact, the name Raza hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Raza 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 1995, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 3,400, 16 parents chose it in 1995 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Raza, 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 Raza was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Raza a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 9,177, for a total of 6 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 Raza seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is quite common as an initial letter for boys’ names. To be precise, 5.2% of all boys' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D.
With four letters, the name Raza 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.
Therefore: As 5.2% of all boys' names start with R, this initial letter occurs much more often than all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: of all the names that begin with an R, Robert is the most common.
If your name is Raza 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 Raza, you can simply say:
