Everyone knows him, everyone loves him and still he’s different from the mainstream: Jaxson occurs in every single state of the U.S. This may sound quite unspectacular at first, but in fact, of the nearly 50,000 different male first names that occur in the USA, only 386 are recorded in each individual state, so the name Jaxson is definitely something very special. However, at the same time, since the name does not appear in the top 100 most common first names in any single state, Jaxson is not one of those names that everyone encounters in his neighbourhood, but stands out from the crowd, captures attention and is something special without being strange or unknown.

However, there are considerable regional differences – the name is far more popular than average in Nevada, where one in 400 men and boys is called Jaxson, while it is particularly rare in New York, where you have to ask an average of 5,284 men for their name to get Jaxson as an answer once.
