Where Shreya is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Shreya has been most common in New Jersey (4.7×), California (2.5×), and Virginia (2.1×), and least common in North Carolina (0.54×).

3,803 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.
