Where Giovanna is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Giovanna has been most common in New Jersey (3.2×), Florida (2.7×), and New York (2.6×), and least common in Missouri (0.12×).

11,188 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.
