Where Andrea is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Andrea has been most common in Nevada (1.6×), Arizona (1.6×), and New Mexico (1.5×), and least common in Mississippi (0.56×).

446,675 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.
