Where Shaina is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Shaina has been most common in Hawaii (2.3×), Florida (2.3×), and New Jersey (2×), and least common in Arkansas (0.44×).

9,851 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.
