Where Freida is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Freida has been most common in Kentucky (3.9×), Tennessee (3.1×), and Alabama (3.1×), and least common in California (0.15×).

6,589 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.
