Where Isaak is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Isaak has been most common in California (3.5×), Arizona (3×), and Washington (2.5×), and least common in New York (0.28×).

2,499 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.
