    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. Olivia may have been given to 1–4 girls in those states, but the count is not published and is never guessed here.

    Olivia ranks highest in California: #1 in 2025, with 1,796 girls. It is also where the most Olivias were born.
