Where Brynn is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Brynn has been most common in Utah (3.1×), Minnesota (2.7×), and North Dakota (2.4×), and least common in Alabama (0.18×).

27,582 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.
