Where Renata is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Renata has been most common in Arizona (4.3×), Texas (4.2×), and California (2.4×), and least common in Alabama (0.15×).

11,262 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.
