Zhara is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Zhara in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Zhara in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Zhara by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Zhara ranks at #5,692. That means there are 5,691 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 Zhara.
Meeting a woman or girl named Zhara is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Zhara can be found in only two: Florida and New York. No other state currently has residents named Zhara. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Zhara living in one state or another (if your name is Zhara and you live outside of Florida or New York, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Zhara is in Florida, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Florida, only 0.00010% of all female residents are named Zhara – that’s just one in 982,047! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 10 women with that name. So, if your name is Zhara, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.
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 Zhara 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 Zhara 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...
