Where Angelo is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Angelo has been most common in Rhode Island (3.1×), New York (2.9×), and New Jersey (2.8×), and least common in Kentucky (0.05×).

80,866 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.
