Where Cambria is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Cambria has been most common in Utah (8.5×), California (3.8×), and Arizona (3.4×), and least common in New York (0.22×).

3,922 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.
