Where Giancarlo is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Giancarlo has been most common in Florida (5×), New Jersey (3.3×), and California (2.7×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.24×).

6,899 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.
