Where Leandro is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Leandro has been most common in Florida (3.2×), Texas (3.1×), and New Mexico (2.4×), and least common in Ohio (0.14×).

8,855 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.
