Where Diann is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Diann has been most common in Mississippi (2.9×), Arkansas (2.4×), and Iowa (2.3×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.47×).

9,936 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.
