The first name 
Tamila

Tamila is a female first name.

Tamila – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Tamila 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 Tamila. That means that a girl named Tamila 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 Tamila.

Tamila -
once in a blue moon

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 to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Tamila. Girls named Tamila have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 2,022 Tamila ranked higher than ever in 1968. By comparison, there have been 99 years in which the first name Tamila 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 Tamila only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!

In years where the graph has no value, the name Tamila was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Tamila -
at home in California and Texas

Meeting a woman or girl named Tamila is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Tamila can be found in only two: California and Texas. No other state currently has residents named Tamila. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Tamila living in one state or another (if your name is Tamila and you live outside of California or Texas, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Tamila is in Texas, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Texas, only 0.00005% of all female residents are named Tamila – that’s just one in 1,867,587! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 12 women with that name. So, if your name is Tamila, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.

Tamila has 6 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 six letters, the name Tamila 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.
