Where Elio is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Elio has been most common in California (3.3×), Nevada (2.7×), and Florida (2.1×), and least common in Ohio (0.36×).

3,246 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.
