    States with no published count are not listed with a number: SSA publishes a name only when at least 5 babies of one sex received it in that state in that year. Mia may have been given to 1–4 girls in those states, but the count is not published and is never guessed here.

    Mia ranks highest in New Mexico: #1 in 2025, with 66 girls. The most Mias were born in California: 1,788 girls in 2025, where it ranked #2.
