Where Triston is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Triston has been most common in Louisiana (2.4×), Oklahoma (2.3×), and Arkansas (2.2×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.27×).

9,757 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.
