Where Herlinda is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Herlinda has been most common in Texas (9.8×), California (2.3×), and Arizona (1.1×), and least common in Arizona (1.1×).

3,463 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.
