Where Mayra is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Mayra has been most common in California (4.9×), Texas (2.8×), and Arizona (2.4×), and least common in Minnesota (0.05×).

31,234 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.
