Where Lashonda is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Lashonda has been most common in Mississippi (4.7×), Louisiana (4.5×), and South Carolina (2.9×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.38×).

8,042 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.
