Where Jordon is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jordon has been most common in Utah (2.1×), Washington (1.8×), and Florida (1.6×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.11×).

11,488 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.
