Where Roselyn is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Roselyn has been most common in Nevada (3×), California (2×), and Arizona (1.9×), and least common in Alabama (0.22×).

9,976 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.
