Where Chantelle is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Chantelle has been most common in Hawaii (9.8×), Utah (5.4×), and Louisiana (4.9×), and least common in New Jersey (0.29×).

3,938 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.
