Where Larissa is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Larissa has been most common in New Mexico (2.6×), Arizona (2.3×), and Colorado (1.8×), and least common in South Carolina (0.16×).

20,259 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.
