Where Johana is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Johana has been most common in California (3.7×), Texas (2.7×), and Arizona (2.3×), and least common in Illinois (0.79×).

5,109 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.
