Where Easton is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Easton has been most common in Utah (3.7×), Idaho (2.7×), and North Dakota (2.5×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.22×).

78,291 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.
