Where Krish is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Krish has been most common in New Jersey (5.4×), California (2.1×), and Georgia (1.9×), and least common in Michigan (0.53×).

3,862 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.
