Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Giuseppe has been most common in New York (5.5×), New Jersey (5.3×), and Connecticut (3.4×), and least common in California (0.88×).

4,657 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.
