Where Kamila is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Kamila has been most common in Nevada (4.2×), Arizona (3.2×), and Texas (2.7×), and least common in Missouri (0.11×).

18,713 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.
