Rosalia is a female first name.
Rosalia is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,048 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,047 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Rosalia.
For more than 140 years, parents decide to name their daughter Rosalia annualy. This means that there have been girls named Rosalia who witnessed the first Labor Day parade in the U.S. or followed Albert Einstein's career. The name has 'always been there', but never ranked in the top 100, and thus women named Rosalia have consistently been special. The name was particularly popular a long time ago in the 19th century. In one particular year, long before the first passenger flight and even before there was the first real radio, parents liked Rosalia even more than any other time: in 1881, it holds its present record of rank #512 in the list of the most popular girls' names.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Rosalia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Rosalia has never been ranked higher than #512. In 2022, she rivaled the 540 names that preceded her on the list. In total, 499 girls named Rosalia were born in that year. For comparison: 30 years earlier, in 1992, when possibly the parents of the now very young Rosalia were born, there have been 79 newborns who received this name.
You may not know anyone named Rosalia, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 32 states are home to women and girls named Rosalia. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Rosalia living in one state or another. If your name is Rosalia and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In California, which has the most people named Rosalia relative to the population, you still have to ask 8,925 women and girls their names before you hear Rosalia as an answer just once.
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 Rosalia 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 Rosalia 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...
