Teja is a female first name. In some cases it's also given to boys.
Recently, the name Teja 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 Teja. That means that a girl named Teja 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 Teja.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Teja 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 52 women and girls named Teja, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 52 women and girls named Teja live in no more than 8 different states, including for example California, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana and New Mexico. In all other 41 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Teja. (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 Teja lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Teja 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 Teja relative to its female population is New Mexico. And even there, only one in 158,103 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Teja.
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 four letters, the name Teja is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four 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 Teja 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...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Teja, you can simply say:
