Where Margarito is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Margarito has been most common in New Mexico (16×), Texas (9×), and California (2×), and least common in California (2×).

3,790 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.
