Where Kianna is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Kianna has been most common in Arizona (2.8×), New Mexico (2.6×), and Florida (2.5×), and least common in Louisiana (0.28×).

6,342 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.
