Where Deric is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Deric has been most common in Texas (2.9×), California (2.6×), and Ohio (1.8×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.66×).

1,742 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.
