Is Zahria a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Zahria has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 31 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Zahria: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Zahria, and how old are they?
An estimated 969 Americans named Zahria and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 20 years old and half are between 15 and 25. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 738 people named Zahria (734 women and girls, 4 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 881 born in the U.S. The Census count is 16% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).

Where Zahria is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Zahria is most over-represented in Florida: since 1995 it was given 1.9 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Zahria with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
