Where Maren is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Maren has been most common in Utah (8.3×), Minnesota (5×), and Washington (2.2×), and least common in Alabama (0.29×).

9,654 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.
