Where Lizbeth is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Lizbeth has been most common in Nevada (3.7×), California (3.6×), and Arizona (2.9×), and least common in Ohio (0.07×).

23,380 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.
