Zehyra Popularity Over Time

Zehyra does not appear in the published US top 1000 — which means a yearly count below roughly 200 births, not a count of zero.

US baby-name tables publish the top 1000 names each year, and a place in that list generally requires roughly 150 to 300 births in a year. Zehyra does not appear there, so its yearly US count sits below that line.

Below the published list, a second rule applies: any name given to fewer than 5 babies in a year is suppressed from the tables entirely. Rare spellings therefore read as unpublished — a floor on visibility, not evidence that no child bears the name.

Scale helps read the gap. The 2023 No. 1 girls' name, Olivia, was given to about 15,000 babies, and the nearest common name, Zara, holds a rank around 70-100 with roughly 2,500 to 3,500 births a year. Zehyra is at least an order of magnitude rarer than its nearest common neighbour.

Because each spelling is counted separately, the name family's footprint is split across Zahra, Zehra, Zohra, Zuhra and Zehyra. The variants page explains how those written forms differ; the main page shows the same thresholds as a single table.

For a current reading, the tables update once a year: new counts appear in May and describe the previous calendar year, so any check before that release is looking at last year's data.

  • Publication floor: 5 births per year
  • Top-1000 bar: roughly 150-300 births per year
  • Zehyra: below the published cutoff
  • Zara, for scale: rank 70-100, about 2,500-3,500 births a year
  • Olivia, 2023 No. 1: about 15,000 births
