Marco peaked in 2005, when 2,117 babies got the name.
At least 76,917 babies have been given the name since 1910. Years SSA withheld, because fewer than 5 were born, are skipped rather than drawn as zero. * 2025 is the newest year published and it undercounts: a card application is filed some time after a birth.

Where Marco is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Marco has been most common in Arizona (3.2×), California (2.9×), and Texas (2.6×), and least common in Kentucky (0.08×).
73,345 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.
