Where Titus is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Titus has been most common in Alaska (3.5×), Idaho (2.9×), and Hawaii (2.7×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.09×).

22,924 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.
