Where Alessandra is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Alessandra has been most common in Arizona (3.2×), Nevada (3.1×), and Florida (2.5×), and least common in South Carolina (0.13×).

22,714 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.
