Where Janeth is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Janeth has been most common in California (4.8×), Arizona (4.7×), and Texas (4.2×), and least common in New York (0.34×).

2,807 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.
