Where Eloy is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Eloy has been most common in New Mexico (33×), Texas (7.5×), and Colorado (3.6×), and least common in New York (0.08×).

6,422 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.
