Where Amiyah is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Amiyah has been most common in Nevada (2.5×), Florida (2.2×), and Georgia (1.9×), and least common in West Virginia (0.38×).

17,801 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.
