Where Arielle is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Arielle has been most common in Florida (2.3×), Nevada (2.1×), and Maryland (1.8×), and least common in West Virginia (0.13×).

28,771 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.
