Where Anahi is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Anahi has been most common in Nevada (4.9×), Arizona (4.5×), and Texas (3.4×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.03×).

18,045 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.

4 first names in the 2020 Census spelled within a letter or two of Anahi, most common first.
