Where Saad is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Saad has been most common in New York (4.4×), New Jersey (3.1×), and Illinois (2.8×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.56×).

1,153 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.
