Where Henrik is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Henrik has been most common in Minnesota (10×), North Dakota (6.1×), and Michigan (4.1×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.24×).

2,885 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.
