Where Jami is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jami has been most common in Montana (3.4×), Utah (2.8×), and Nebraska (2.5×), and least common in Mississippi (0.2×).
18,789 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.
