Where Olivia is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Olivia has been most common in Nevada (2×), New Hampshire (1.6×), and Alaska (1.5×), and least common in West Virginia (0.61×).
561,482 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.
