Janna by decade

Where Janna is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Janna has been most common in Oklahoma (2.5×), Utah (2.1×), and Washington (2×), and least common in New Jersey (0.33×).
11,601 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.
