Stasha is a female first name.
Recently, the name Stasha 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 Stasha. That means that a girl named Stasha 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 Stasha.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Stasha. Girls named Stasha have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 2,345 Stasha ranked higher than ever before in 1988. By comparison, there have been 98 years in which the first name Stasha has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Stasha only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Stasha was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Stasha in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 39 women and girls named Stasha, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 39 women and girls named Stasha live in no more than 6 different states, including for example California, Georgia, Indiana, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania. In all other 43 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Stasha. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Stasha lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Stasha and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Stasha relative to its female population is Oklahoma. And even there, only one in 337,981 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Stasha.
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 six letters, the name Stasha is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven 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.
If your name is Stasha 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...
