Where Isabell is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Isabell has been most common in South Carolina (3.2×), North Carolina (1.7×), and Arizona (1.6×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.23×).

8,904 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.
