Where Chase is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Chase has been most common in Nevada (2.3×), Delaware (2.2×), and Utah (2×), and least common in District of Columbia (0.52×).
181,604 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.
