Where Jerri is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jerri has been most common in Oklahoma (3.5×), Arkansas (2.5×), and Indiana (2×), and least common in Minnesota (0.19×).

12,465 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.
