Decade-level aggregation shows that Indiana performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 689 births during that ten-year window. Across the 13 decades of recorded activity, Indiana shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 300 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Florida. In total, SSA state-level files list Indiana in 11 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Indiana in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 2,006 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
