Where Renea is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Renea has been most common in Michigan (3.8×), Ohio (2.4×), and Alabama (2×), and least common in New York (0.7×).

1,654 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.
