Where Levi is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Levi has been most common in Alaska (2.6×), Wyoming (2.3×), and Nevada (2.1×), and least common in District of Columbia (0.2×).
209,403 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.
