Where Dianna is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Dianna has been most common in West Virginia (2.3×), Indiana (1.8×), and Oklahoma (1.7×), and least common in New Hampshire (0.21×).

52,386 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.
