Where Devyn is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Devyn has been most common in Arizona (2.2×), Nevada (2×), and Colorado (1.8×), and least common in Iowa (0.23×).

11,835 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.
