Where Jayda is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jayda has been most common in Florida (2.4×), Nevada (2.2×), and Georgia (1.8×), and least common in Rhode Island (0.44×).

19,772 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.
