The first name 
Shaira

Shaira is a first name for girls.

Shaira – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Shaira in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Shaira in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Shaira by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Shaira ranks at #5,371. That means there are 5,370 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 Shaira.

Shaira -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Shaira 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), Shaira seemed to be more popular than ever in 2017. Although the name never ranked higher than #3,577, 37 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Shaira, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Shaira was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
