Tierra is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Tierra is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Tierra. In the SmartGenius ranking, Tierra is #3,115 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 Tierra.
Tierra 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 Tierra - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 306 in 1993. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Tierra really in tune with her generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Tierra was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
23 babies were named Tierra in 2022 - that's 1 in 6,444,865 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Tierra ranked 4,797 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
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 Tierra 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.
If your name is Tierra 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...
