Where Katarina is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Katarina has been most common in Florida (2.3×), Arizona (2×), and California (2×), and least common in Tennessee (0.25×).

6,874 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.
