Where Kimber is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Kimber has been most common in Idaho (5.1×), Utah (3.8×), and Montana (3.8×), and least common in New York (0.05×).

8,074 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.
