Where Lorinda is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Lorinda has been most common in Washington (3.5×), New Mexico (3.3×), and California (2.6×), and least common in Florida (0.55×).

1,896 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.
