Where Bruno is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Bruno has been most common in Illinois (2.8×), New Jersey (2.1×), and Texas (2×), and least common in Tennessee (0.14×).
14,916 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.
