Where Eliseo is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Eliseo has been most common in New Mexico (5.3×), Texas (5.3×), and California (3×), and least common in Ohio (0.07×).

9,350 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.
