Where Suzanna is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Suzanna has been most common in California (2.8×), Texas (1.9×), and Arizona (1.6×), and least common in New Jersey (0.24×).

4,851 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.
