Sia is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
Sia is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,487 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,486 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Sia.
In fact, the name Sia 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), Sia seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,036, 211 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Sia, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Sia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Sia are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Sia is registered in 17 states, among which are California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois or Indiana. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Sia live in New Jersey, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 22,998 would turn around if you called the name Sia across New Jersey.
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 only three letters, the name Sia is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three letters. 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 Sia 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...
