Where Lennox is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Lennox has been most common in Nevada (2.6×), Florida (1.7×), and Hawaii (1.7×), and least common in Rhode Island (0.49×).

17,751 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.
