Where Camilla is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Camilla has been most common in Utah (2.6×), Nevada (2.4×), and Arizona (1.8×), and least common in Mississippi (0.21×).

23,560 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.
