Where Lupe is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Lupe has been most common in New Mexico (10×), Arizona (6.3×), and Texas (6.1×), and least common in Michigan (0.07×).
21,535 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.
