Where Raiden is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Raiden has been most common in Hawaii (5.9×), Nevada (4.7×), and Arizona (2.7×), and least common in Connecticut (0.24×).

11,583 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.
