Where Evelynn is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Evelynn has been most common in Idaho (3.3×), Utah (2.6×), and Washington (2.4×), and least common in New Jersey (0.17×).

13,983 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.
