Where Xenia is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Xenia has been most common in California (4.7×), Texas (3.2×), and Arizona (2.6×), and least common in Florida (0.89×).

1,075 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.
