Where Delfina is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Delfina has been most common in Texas (7.6×), New Mexico (5.9×), and California (3.3×), and least common in Arizona (3.2×).

2,547 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.
