Where Dayna is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Dayna has been most common in Hawaii (7.8×), Michigan (2.3×), and Utah (2×), and least common in Kentucky (0.16×).

10,650 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.
