Where Leeann is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Leeann has been most common in Hawaii (5.7×), Minnesota (2.6×), and Michigan (1.9×), and least common in Maryland (0.22×).

9,978 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.
