Where Alecia is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Alecia has been most common in Alabama (2.6×), Georgia (2.3×), and Florida (1.8×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.3×).

8,225 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.
