Where Cassondra is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Cassondra has been most common in Minnesota (3.4×), Wisconsin (2.5×), and Indiana (2.2×), and least common in Georgia (0.53×).

2,327 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.
