Tahira is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Tahira is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Tahira. In the SmartGenius ranking, Tahira is #4,627 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Tahira.
In fact, the name Tahira wasn't vogue in the 19th century, but between 1900 and 1975 young parents changed 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), Tahira seemed more popular than ever in 1975, when 43 parents named their daughters Tahira. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,874, that year parents chose it as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Tahira, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Tahira was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Tahira a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 4,122, for a total of 29 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for a many years. As Tahira seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Tahira 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 306 women and girls named Tahira, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 306 women and girls named Tahira live in no more than 8 different states, including for example California, Connecticut, Florida, New Jersey and New York. In all other 41 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Tahira. (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 Tahira lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Tahira 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 Tahira relative to its female population is New Jersey. And even there, only one in 55,377 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Tahira.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter T is a quite popular first letter for girls' names. Because: 6.3% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A, S and M.
With six letters, the name Tahira 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.
With 6.3% of all girls' names that begin with a T, this first letter is thus much more common than all 26 letters on average - and the most popular one of all the girls’ names starting with T is Teresa.
If your name is Tahira 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...
