Zakaria is a first name for boys, occasionally also given to girls.
Zakaria is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth boy, and therefore ranks at 1401 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,400 boys names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Zakaria.
In fact, the name Zakaria 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), Zakaria seemed to be more popular than ever in 2011. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,006, 174 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Zakaria, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Zakaria was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Zakaria a few times. Among all newborn boys it ranked #1,500 - with a total of 104 baby boys. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving boys with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
The odds that a man or boy named Zakaria lives in your home state are about the same as betting on heads or tails in a coin toss. This boy’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet boys and men with the name Zakaria in 20 states – which is obviously nearly every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida or Georgia. In relation to the number of residents, the most men and boys with the first name Zakaria live in Minnesota – here, one in 13,615 bears this name. In comparison, if we look at all living men and boys in the whole country, only one in 120,003 will turn around if you call his first name Zakaria.
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 boys' names: only 2.4% of all common boys' names in the US begin with Z. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.
With seven letters, the name Zakaria has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight 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.
Therefore: As 2.4% of all boys' names begin with a Z, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Interesting detail: of all the names that begin with Z, Zachary is the most common.
If your name is Zakaria 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...
