The first name 
Saliha

Saliha is a first name for girls.

Saliha – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Saliha in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Saliha in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Saliha by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Saliha ranks at #7,628. That means there are 7,627 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Saliha.

Saliha -
at home in California and New York

Meeting a woman or girl named Saliha is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Saliha can be found in only two: California and New York. No other state currently has residents named Saliha. However, we must admit that 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 quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Saliha living in one state or another (if your name is Saliha and you live outside of California or New York, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Saliha is in New York, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in New York, only 0.00005% of all female residents are named Saliha – that’s just one in 1,988,886! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 12 women with that name. So, if your name is Saliha, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.

Saliha has 6 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 six letters, the name Saliha is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.

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.
