Where Amparo is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Amparo has been most common in Texas (7.3×), California (3.9×), and Arizona (1.1×), and least common in New York (0.26×).

2,288 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.
