Where Abagail is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Abagail has been most common in West Virginia (2.6×), Indiana (2.1×), and Kentucky (2×), and least common in Minnesota (0.58×).

3,983 births recorded by state, 1910–2025. 2× means twice as common as nationally. States with fewer than 30 such births are left blank, and SSA withholds any year with fewer than 5 in a state, so small states read low.
