Where Leena is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Leena has been most common in Virginia (2.5×), California (2.1×), and Florida (1.7×), and least common in Indiana (0.35×).

3,824 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.
