If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Syriah.
The first name Syriah is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 99 Americans in total bear this name. And these 99 women are located in only four states: California, Florida, Georgia and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Syriah and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Syriah in relation to it’s female population is Florida.
