Where Tyrell is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Tyrell has been most common in Maryland (3.3×), New Mexico (3.1×), and District of Columbia (3×), and least common in Kansas (0.23×).

13,389 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.
