Where Baltazar is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Baltazar has been most common in Texas (6.9×), California (4.1×), and Illinois (0.59×), and least common in Illinois (0.59×).

1,573 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.
