Where Alessandro is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Alessandro has been most common in Nevada (4×), Florida (3.9×), and California (2.6×), and least common in Ohio (0.09×).

10,083 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.
