Where Augustine is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Augustine has been most common in New Mexico (4.5×), Arizona (4.5×), and Louisiana (2.8×), and least common in Alabama (0.15×).

12,841 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.
