Where Andreas is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Andreas has been most common in California (2.5×), New York (2.4×), and Florida (2×), and least common in Indiana (0.24×).

5,309 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.
