Takiyah is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Takiyah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Takiyah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Takiyah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Takiyah ranks at #4,881. That means there are 4,880 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 Takiyah.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Takiyah 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 Takiyah is registered in 18 states, among which are Alabama, California, Washington, D.C., Florida or Georgia. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Takiyah live in Mississippi, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 44,574 would turn around if you called the name Takiyah across Mississippi.
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 seven letters, the name Takiyah has a typical length for first names in the US.

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.
