Where Jalyn is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jalyn has been most common in Louisiana (2.7×), Georgia (2.6×), and Mississippi (2.4×), and least common in New Jersey (0.33×).

4,039 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.
