Where Damion is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Damion has been most common in Louisiana (2.4×), Florida (1.7×), and Mississippi (1.7×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.24×).

14,136 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.
