Where Rosanna is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Rosanna has been most common in New York (2.3×), Pennsylvania (2.2×), and Arizona (2.2×), and least common in Virginia (0.2×).

9,010 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.
