The first name 
Tavia

Tavia is a female first name.

Tavia – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Tavia in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Tavia in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Tavia by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Tavia ranks at #5,939. That means there are 5,938 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 Tavia.

Tavia -
special from day one

In fact, the name Tavia hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Tavia 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 1993, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,417, 104 parents chose it in 1993 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Tavia, 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 Tavia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
