Where Maricruz is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Maricruz has been most common in California (5.8×), Texas (4×), and Arizona (1.9×), and least common in Illinois (1.1×).

2,066 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.
