Sadia -
special from day one

In fact, the name Sadia hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Sadia 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 1998, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,468, 50 parents chose it in 1998 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Sadia, 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 Sadia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Sadia - originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Sadia a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 4,546, for a total of 25 babies.

As Sadia seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.

Sadia has 5 letters 
and begins with an S

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter S is a very popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 9.3% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letter A is more common for girls' names.

With five letters, the name Sadia 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.

That means that if 9.3% of all girls' names start with an S, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And by the way: Of all the girls' names that start with an S, Susan is the most common.
