Where Catrina is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Catrina has been most common in Mississippi (2.3×), Louisiana (1.6×), and California (1.6×), and least common in Minnesota (0.24×).

7,468 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.
