Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Allyssa has been most common in Missouri (1.9×), Florida (1.7×), and Arizona (1.7×), and least common in Louisiana (0.39×).

4,630 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.
