Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Leana has been most common in California (3.6×), Florida (3.4×), and New York (2.4×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.34×).
1,776 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.
