Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Zafira by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Zafira ranks at #9,422. That means there are 9,421 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter Z is quite rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 1.9% of all common girls' names in the US begin with Z. By the way, the most common first letters of girls' names are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.
