Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jacy has been most common in Oklahoma (6.4×), Texas (5.7×), and Georgia (2×), and least common in Illinois (0.77×).

1,070 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.
