Where Adelaida is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Adelaida has been most common in Texas (7.9×), New Mexico (3.5×), and California (2.7×), and least common in New York (0.95×).

1,733 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.
