Where Caterina is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Caterina has been most common in New York (6.5×), Florida (2.7×), and California (2×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.45×).

1,264 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.
