Where Katelin is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Katelin has been most common in Utah (2.4×), Oregon (2×), and Indiana (1.6×), and least common in Connecticut (0.46×).

7,300 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.
