Where Daniela is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Daniela has been most common in Nevada (3.3×), Arizona (2.8×), and California (2.7×), and least common in Kentucky (0.15×).

66,557 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.
