Where Arnulfo is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Arnulfo has been most common in Texas (8.4×), California (3×), and Arizona (1.9×), and least common in Illinois (0.25×).

4,950 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.
