Where Emilio is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Emilio has been most common in New Mexico (4.3×), Arizona (3.6×), and Nevada (3.3×), and least common in Louisiana (0.06×).

50,606 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.
