something very, very special - even in his home state Pennsylvania!

If you’re looking for someone named Gradyn, you might want to head to Pennsylvania. Why Pennsylvania of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no men or boys named Gradyn living in any other state.

But, in any case the name is extremely rare. (If your name happens to be Gradyn and you live outside of Pennsylvania, we would be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can refine our statistics even further).
