Where Iyanna is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Iyanna has been most common in Florida (2.9×), Virginia (2.8×), and Georgia (2.7×), and least common in Tennessee (0.39×).

4,019 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.
