Where Amelie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Amelie has been most common in Louisiana (3.3×), California (2.7×), and Florida (2.6×), and least common in Missouri (0.23×).

7,855 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.
