Where Yahir is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Yahir has been most common in Nevada (5.2×), Arizona (3×), and Colorado (2.7×), and least common in Ohio (0.12×).

11,462 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.
