Where Galilea is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Galilea has been most common in Nevada (4.2×), Texas (4.1×), and California (3.5×), and least common in Indiana (0.19×).

8,020 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.
