Avah peaked in 2018, when 679 babies got the name.
At least 7,046 babies have been given the name since 1923. Years SSA withheld, because fewer than 5 were born, are skipped rather than drawn as zero. * 2025 is the newest year published and it undercounts: a card application is filed some time after a birth.

Where Avah is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Avah has been most common in Georgia (1.9×), Florida (1.8×), and Louisiana (1.7×), and least common in New Jersey (0.28×).
5,803 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.
