Where Eliza is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Eliza has been most common in Utah (4.1×), South Carolina (2.5×), and Vermont (2.3×), and least common in Hawaii (0.19×).
58,263 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.
