Where Ines is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Ines has been most common in New York (3.6×), California (3.1×), and Texas (2.8×), and least common in Illinois (0.52×).

3,330 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.
