Where Brittney is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Brittney has been most common in Utah (1.9×), Nevada (1.9×), and Alabama (1.8×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.45×).

80,597 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.
