Where Alfreda is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Alfreda has been most common in South Carolina (3.7×), District of Columbia (3.7×), and Alabama (3.4×), and least common in Indiana (0.19×).

7,453 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.
