Where Marianne is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Marianne has been most common in New Jersey (2.3×), Massachusetts (2.2×), and Pennsylvania (2.1×), and least common in Arkansas (0.09×).

60,077 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.
