Where Jairo is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jairo has been most common in California (3.7×), Arizona (3.2×), and Nevada (2.6×), and least common in Indiana (0.2×).

9,624 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.
