Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Leanne has been most common in Washington (2.6×), Massachusetts (2.3×), and Hawaii (1.9×), and least common in Arkansas (0.13×).

25,533 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.
