Where Roxane is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Roxane has been most common in Hawaii (7.5×), North Dakota (3.4×), and Wisconsin (3.1×), and least common in Indiana (0.55×).

3,117 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.
