Where Cielo is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Cielo has been most common in Arizona (5.7×), California (4.2×), and Texas (3.5×), and least common in New Jersey (0.4×).

3,493 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.
