Where Elisabeth is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Elisabeth has been most common in Massachusetts (1.9×), Utah (1.7×), and Washington (1.6×), and least common in Rhode Island (0.2×).
41,106 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.
