Where Gisselle is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Gisselle has been most common in Nevada (4.3×), California (4×), and Arizona (3.2×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.07×).

8,988 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.
