Where Aria is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Aria has been most common in Nevada (3.1×), Arizona (2.3×), and Alaska (2.2×), and least common in Mississippi (0.46×).

94,133 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.
