The first name 
Shantasia

Shantasia is a female first name.

Shantasia – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Shantasia 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 Shantasia. That means that a girl named Shantasia 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 Shantasia.

Shantasia -
something very, very special - even in her home state New York!

If you’re looking for someone named Shantasia, you might want to head to New York. Why New York of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no women or girls named Shantasia living in any other state. However, we have to admit that a first name is only listed in the official statistics of a state if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it may well be that there are still a few women and girls named Shantasia living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare (if your name happens to be Shantasia and you live outside of New York, we would be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can refine our statistics even further). By the way, even in New York, the name Shantasia is not really that common – there are only 43 women and girls with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00036% of all female residents of New York – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!

Shantasia has 9 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 nine letters, the name Shantasia is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with 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.
