Where Bethann is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Bethann has been most common in Pennsylvania (8.2×), New Jersey (5.5×), and New York (2.3×), and least common in Ohio (1.2×).

1,466 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.
