The first name 
Taiya

Taiya is a first name for girls.

Taiya – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Taiya in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Taiya in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Taiya by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Taiya ranks at #7,658. That means there are 7,657 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Taiya.

Taiya -
special from day one

In fact, the name Taiya hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Taiya wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1998, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,965, 68 parents chose it in 1998 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Taiya, 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 Taiya was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Taiya - originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Taiya a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 11,784, for a total of 6 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Taiya seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.

Taiya -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Taiya 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 80 women and girls named Taiya, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 80 women and girls named Taiya live in no more than 7 different states, including for example California, Illinois, Michigan, New York and Texas. In all other 42 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Taiya. (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 Taiya lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Taiya 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 Taiya relative to its female population is Utah. And even there, only one in 194,663 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Taiya.

Taiya has 5 letters 
and begins with a T

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 five letters, the name Taiya is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five 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.

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.
