Where Jaylyn is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jaylyn has been most common in Florida (2.5×), Texas (2×), and Georgia (1.5×), and least common in Wisconsin (0.37×).

4,515 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.
