Where Chiquita is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Chiquita has been most common in Mississippi (7×), Georgia (5.7×), and District of Columbia (4.7×), and least common in New York (0.09×).

4,484 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.
