Where Cris is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Cris has been most common in California (4.1×), Texas (3×), and Ohio (2×), and least common in New York (0.52×).

1,148 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.
