Where Alannah is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Alannah has been most common in Florida (2.8×), Arizona (1.8×), and Massachusetts (1.6×), and least common in Alabama (0.36×).

5,369 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.
