Where Jeanne is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jeanne has been most common in Rhode Island (3.1×), Massachusetts (2.6×), and Maine (2.1×), and least common in Nevada (0.17×).

158,407 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.
