Where Jeffry is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jeffry has been most common in Wisconsin (2.6×), Iowa (2.3×), and Oregon (2×), and least common in North Carolina (0.18×).

11,766 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.
