counting every spelling

The SSA counts spellings, not names. Amyrah went to 70 girls in 2025, but Amira, Amirah and Amyra and the rest below are the same name said out loud. Together the 11 spellings went to 3,114, which makes it the 95th most-given girls’ name of the year — 2,419 places above the chart.

and 6 rarer spellings.

About 1 girl in 516 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 22,961 for Amyrah itself.

Spellings are grouped by a fixed rule that folds interchangeable English spellings of one sound (ck/k, ph/f, x/ks, a non-initial y for i) and keeps vowels apart, so Sean and Shawn stay separate names. It errs towards splitting: a family here is never larger than the truth. SSA national data, 2025. Method

What to consider
  • Amira is the standard transliteration.
  • At least four spellings of the sound are in circulation.
  • It will be respelled by other people constantly.
