Where Jessy is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jessy has been most common in California (4.4×), Florida (2.3×), and Texas (2.2×), and least common in Illinois (0.43×).

2,596 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.
