Where Olga is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Olga has been most common in Texas (2.8×), North Dakota (2.6×), and New Jersey (2×), and least common in Tennessee (0.06×).

49,868 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.
