Where Zayne is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Zayne has been most common in Nevada (2.9×), Hawaii (2.4×), and Oklahoma (2.2×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.32×).

11,348 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.
