Where Lina is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Lina has been most common in California (2.3×), New York (1.9×), and Texas (1.8×), and least common in Wisconsin (0.12×).
12,925 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.
