Where Hubert is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Hubert has been most common in Mississippi (3.4×), North Carolina (3.2×), and Kentucky (3.2×), and least common in Arizona (0.12×).

50,267 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.
