The first name 
Sahar

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

When two girls called Sahar meet...

… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Sahar is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Sahar. In the SmartGenius ranking, Sahar is #2,887 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Sahar.

Sahar -
special from day one

In fact, the name Sahar hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Sahar 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 1996, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,656, 83 parents chose it in 1996 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Sahar, 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 Sahar was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Sahar - originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Sahar a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 2,458, for a total of 62 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 Sahar seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.

Sahar 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 Sahar 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.

Other names with 
S, a, h, a and r

If you take all the letters in the name Sahar – S, a, h, a and r – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Rasha or others.
