Where Melony is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Melony has been most common in California (2.9×), Texas (2.7×), and North Carolina (2.2×), and least common in New York (0.53×).

1,766 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.
