Where Susanne is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Susanne has been most common in Massachusetts (2.1×), Connecticut (2×), and New York (2×), and least common in Oklahoma (0.12×).

21,856 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.
