Where Avi is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Avi has been most common in New Jersey (3.6×), New York (3.2×), and California (1.8×), and least common in Michigan (0.38×).

4,497 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.
