Shayma is a female first name.
Recently, the name Shayma 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 Shayma. That means that a girl named Shayma 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 Shayma.

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 Shayma living in one state or another (if your name is Shayma and you live outside of , 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 Shayma is in Michigan, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Michigan, only 0.00017% of all female residents are named Shayma – that’s just one in 577,353! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 10 women with that name. So, if your name is Shayma, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.
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.
