Where Aisha is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Aisha has been most common in District of Columbia (2.5×), Minnesota (2.5×), and New York (2.1×), and least common in Kansas (0.11×).
24,487 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.
