Where Jayna is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jayna has been most common in Indiana (2.7×), Florida (2.5×), and California (2×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.6×).

2,211 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.
