Where Caiden is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Caiden has been most common in Florida (1.9×), Nevada (1.9×), and Georgia (1.7×), and least common in Montana (0.44×).

22,384 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.
