Where Lissette is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Lissette has been most common in Florida (4.3×), New York (3.9×), and New Jersey (3.4×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.14×).

6,293 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.
