Where Aniya is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Aniya has been most common in Maryland (2.9×), District of Columbia (2.4×), and Georgia (2.3×), and least common in Minnesota (0.3×).

16,948 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.
