Yusra is a first name for girls.

Yusra is a well-known but special name!

Yusra -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Yusra did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Yusra seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,013, 220 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Yusra, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Yusra was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Yusra has 5 letters 
and begins with a Y

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter Y is pretty rare as an initial letter for girls' names: only 1.8% of all common girls' names in the US begin with Y. By the way, the most common first letters of girls' names are A, S and M, while Q, X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.

With five letters, the name Yusra 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.

Since 1.8% of all girls’ names begin with a Y, this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average, but Y is by no means the rarest initial. And of course, there are single names with Y that are very popular, currently the most common girls’ name that starts with Y is Yvonne.

Other names with 
Y, u, s, r and a

If you take all the letters in the name Yusra – Y, u, s, r and a – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Surya or Aryus.
