Where Mitzi is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Mitzi has been most common in Tennessee (4×), North Carolina (2.3×), and Mississippi (2.3×), and least common in Minnesota (0.22×).

9,692 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.
