Where Ariella is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Ariella has been most common in Nevada (2.5×), Florida (2.4×), and Arizona (2.2×), and least common in Louisiana (0.27×).

20,702 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.
