Where Daquan is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Daquan has been most common in District of Columbia (5.4×), South Carolina (5.2×), and Maryland (4.5×), and least common in California (0.16×).

6,544 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.
