Where Trystan is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Trystan has been most common in Nevada (4.8×), Colorado (2.9×), and Arizona (2.6×), and least common in New York (0.51×).

2,650 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.
