Where Jaci is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jaci has been most common in Louisiana (9.1×), Oklahoma (7×), and Texas (4.6×), and least common in California (0.15×).

2,410 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.
