Hana peaked in 2025, when 436 babies got the name.
At least 13,018 babies have been given the name since 1912. Years SSA withheld, because fewer than 5 were born, are skipped rather than drawn as zero. * 2025 is the newest year published and it undercounts: a card application is filed some time after a birth.
Hana by decade

Rank counts both sexes together, among every name SSA recorded that decade; the number under it is births. The 2020s run only to 2025. Generation years follow Pew Research Center, which has not named a generation after 2012.
Where Hana is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Hana has been most common in Hawaii (3×), Washington (2.9×), and California (2.5×), and least common in Kentucky (0.17×).
10,528 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.
