Luisa peaked in 2022, when 319 babies got the name.
At least 14,405 babies have been given the name since 1882. Years SSA withheld, because fewer than 5 were born, are skipped rather than drawn as zero. * 2025 is the newest year published and it undercounts: a card application is filed some time after a birth.
Luisa by decade

Where Luisa is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Luisa has been most common in Texas (3.9×), Arizona (2.8×), and California (2.7×), and least common in Michigan (0.11×).
10,880 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.
