Where Deonte is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Deonte has been most common in District of Columbia (5.1×), Georgia (3×), and Maryland (2.7×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.19×).

6,509 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.
