Where Sariah is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Sariah has been most common in Utah (7.2×), Arizona (3.3×), and Florida (3×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.22×).
7,601 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.
