Where Eamon is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Eamon has been most common in Massachusetts (4.9×), New York (3.2×), and Washington (2.5×), and least common in Texas (0.43×).

2,541 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.
