Where Lavonne is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Lavonne has been most common in South Dakota (20×), North Dakota (14×), and Iowa (11×), and least common in New Jersey (0.09×).

12,969 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.
