Where Arturo is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Arturo has been most common in Texas (4.8×), New Mexico (4.6×), and Arizona (3.8×), and least common in Ohio (0.03×).

53,806 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.
