Where Madelynn is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Madelynn has been most common in Oregon (1.6×), Arizona (1.6×), and Texas (1.6×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.38×).

17,370 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.
