Where Manny is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Manny has been most common in Arizona (5.8×), New York (5.2×), and California (2.7×), and least common in Illinois (0.38×).

1,988 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.
