Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Alisa has been most common in Utah (2.2×), Washington (1.7×), and California (1.6×), and least common in Maine (0.21×).
31,660 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.
