Soha is an Arabic female name meaning “small star” or “brilliance,” reflecting themes of luminescence and purity in its original context. Pronounced SOH-ha (/su.ha/), it first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1982 at rank 800 with five occurrences and has since fluctuated within a narrow 850–950 rank band. Its peak frequency came in 2008 with 54 births, while the latest data for 2024 shows 19 newborns (rank 931), underlining a steady yet limited adoption curve. With fewer than two dozen new Soha registrations in 2024, its U.S. usage attains an exclusivity that, in name-registry terms, might rival select private literary salons. This persistent niche presence provides parents with an analytically distinctive and culturally rooted choice that balances uncommon appeal with dependable familiarity.
