Where Alyssia is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Alyssia has been most common in Arizona (2.8×), Florida (2.8×), and Texas (1.9×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.68×).

2,725 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.
