Where Lennon is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Lennon has been most common in Utah (3.3×), South Dakota (2.5×), and Nebraska (2.1×), and least common in West Virginia (0.32×).

17,249 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.
