Where Marianna is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Marianna has been most common in Arizona (2.3×), New York (2×), and New Mexico (1.8×), and least common in Kentucky (0.19×).

13,056 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.
