Thais is a female first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Thais is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Thais. In the SmartGenius ranking, Thais is #4,766 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Thais.
While Thais is not one of the most popular names of all time, it seems to have attracted parents especially more than 50 years ago in the last century. In 1910, the name Thais reached its highest popularity with #1,299 in our ranking of all female first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their daughter Thais. Perhaps it was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and girls in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Thais.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Thais was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 34 babies were born with the name Thais. This puts the name in rank 3,718 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 4,359,762 newborns was named Thais that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Thais has been and remains marvelously unusual!
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Thais 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 Thais is registered in 10 states, among which are California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana or Louisiana. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Thais live in Louisiana, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 38,842 would turn around if you called the name Thais across Louisiana.
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 Thais 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 Thais 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 Thais, you can simply say:
