Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Antonio has been most common in New Mexico (3.4×), District of Columbia (2.2×), and Arizona (2.1×), and least common in Montana (0.09×).

259,167 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.
