Where Luana is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Luana has been most common in Hawaii (23×), Utah (6.1×), and California (4.1×), and least common in Illinois (0.52×).
2,027 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.
