Where Jaquan is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jaquan has been most common in South Carolina (4.8×), North Carolina (3.7×), and Virginia (2.9×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.14×).

9,113 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.
