The first name 
Shaiann

Shaiann is a female first name.

Shaiann – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Shaiann has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Shaiann. That means that a girl named Shaiann is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Shaiann.

Shaiann -
at home in California and New York

Meeting a woman or girl named Shaiann is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Shaiann can be found in only two: California and New York. No other state currently has residents named Shaiann. 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 Shaiann living in one state or another (if your name is Shaiann 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 Shaiann is in California, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in California, only 0.00011% of all female residents are named Shaiann – that’s just one in 932,057! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 28 women with that name. So, if your name is Shaiann, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.

Shaiann has 7 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 seven letters, the name Shaiann has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.
