Where Racheal is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Racheal has been most common in Tennessee (2×), Louisiana (2×), and Oklahoma (1.9×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.19×).

7,088 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.
