Primarily a girl's name · 100% girls
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Alaia yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Alaia is the second-most explosive name in these four batches, behind only Ailany: up 3,574% over ten years, to 2,425 births and rank 112, both 2024 records. Its entire recorded history amounts to 15,367 births since 1986, so more than a seventh of everyone ever given the name arrived last year alone. No namesakes and no origin are listed. The couturier Azzedine Alaïa is the obvious association and is absent from the file, spelled with an accent the data would not carry anyway. Two names in one batch showing four-figure percentage growth is unusual, and both share the same profile: no history, no attached person, and a curve that gives a forecaster nothing to work with.
