Where Dayne is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Dayne has been most common in Hawaii (9.6×), Wisconsin (8.8×), and Iowa (2.6×), and least common in New York (0.36×).

1,136 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.
