Where Kayle is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Kayle has been most common in Florida (2.3×), Texas (2.2×), and Ohio (2×), and least common in New York (0.69×).

2,018 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.
