Where Rania is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Rania has been most common in Virginia (3.3×), Florida (3.1×), and New York (2.6×), and least common in Michigan (0.93×).

1,583 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.
