Where Aline is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Aline has been most common in Louisiana (8.4×), Arkansas (4.1×), and Maine (3.3×), and least common in Michigan (0.1×).

8,999 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.
