Where Rebekah is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Rebekah has been most common in Alaska (2.5×), Utah (2×), and Oregon (1.8×), and least common in District of Columbia (0.15×).
72,340 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.
