Where Christoper is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Christoper has been most common in California (3.5×), New York (2.1×), and Texas (2.1×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.59×).

1,097 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.
