Sayra is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Sayra in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Sayra in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Sayra by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Sayra ranks at #4,994. That means there are 4,993 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 Sayra.
In fact, the name Sayra did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Sayra seemed to be more popular than ever in 2000. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,861, 83 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Sayra, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Sayra was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Sayra a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #4,420 - with a total of 26 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
The first name Sayra is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 693 Americans in total bear this name. And these 693 women are located in only three states: Arizona, California and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Sayra and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Sayra in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 30,812 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Sayra.
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 Sayra 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.
If your name is Sayra 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 Sayra, you can simply say:
