Where Chiara is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Chiara has been most common in Florida (3.5×), New Jersey (2.9×), and New York (2.8×), and least common in Michigan (0.26×).

3,703 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.
