Where Anastasia is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Anastasia has been most common in Alaska (2.6×), Nevada (2.6×), and Florida (2×), and least common in District of Columbia (0.24×).

52,704 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.
