Semira is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Semira in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Semira in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Semira by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Semira ranks at #5,019. That means there are 5,018 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 Semira.
The first name Semira is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 38 Americans in total bear this name. And these 38 women are located in only three states: California, Georgia and New York (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 Semira 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 Semira in relation to it’s female population is California. And yet even there, only one in 677,860 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Semira.
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 Semira 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.
If your name is Semira 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 Semira, you can simply say:
Sun
Elephant
Mouse
