Where Zaria is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Zaria has been most common in Georgia (3.4×), Florida (2.9×), and South Carolina (2.8×), and least common in Minnesota (0.19×).

10,084 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.
