Where Jeanna is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jeanna has been most common in Indiana (2.1×), Missouri (2×), and Oklahoma (1.9×), and least common in Virginia (0.31×).

5,412 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.
