Where Bodhi is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Bodhi has been most common in Hawaii (3.7×), Colorado (3.2×), and Oregon (2.9×), and least common in Mississippi (0.18×).

13,395 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.
