Where Remi is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Remi has been most common in Utah (4×), Idaho (2.8×), and Arizona (2.3×), and least common in Rhode Island (0.43×).

23,930 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.
