Where Devin is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Devin has been most common in Nevada (2×), Louisiana (1.6×), and Utah (1.6×), and least common in West Virginia (0.61×).

169,694 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.
