Zakia is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Zakia in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Zakia in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Zakia by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Zakia ranks at #6,103. That means there are 6,102 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Zakia.
In fact, the name Zakia wasn't vogue in the 19th century, but between 1900 and 1975 young parents changed 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), Zakia seemed more popular than ever in 1975, when 88 parents named their daughters Zakia. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,189, that year parents chose it as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Zakia, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Zakia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Zakia a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 6,652, for a total of 14 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for a many years. As Zakia seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Zakia 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 Zakia is registered in 14 states, among which are California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois or Massachusetts. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Zakia live in Pennsylvania, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 51,103 would turn around if you called the name Zakia across Pennsylvania.
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.
With five letters, the name Zakia 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.
That means that with 1.9% of all girls' names beginning with a Z, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are girls' names with Z that are quite popular, the most common at present is Zoe.
If your name is Zakia 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...
