Where Katalina is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Katalina has been most common in Texas (3.6×), Nevada (2.9×), and Florida (2.5×), and least common in Missouri (0.2×).

7,207 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.
