Tarah is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Tarah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Tarah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Tarah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Tarah ranks at #7,237. That means there are 7,236 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 Tarah.
Tarah is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Tarah - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 625 in 1984. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Tarah really in tune with her generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Tarah was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
9 babies were named Tarah in 2022 - that's 1 in 16,470,211 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Tarah ranked 9,013 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
You may not know anyone named Tarah, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 28 states are home to women and girls named Tarah. (To be fair, 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 entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Tarah living in one state or another. If your name is Tarah and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Florida, which has the most people named Tarah relative to the population, you still have to ask 24,308 women and girls their names before you hear Tarah as an answer just once.
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 Tarah 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.
If your name is Tarah 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...
