Where Massimo is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Massimo has been most common in Florida (4.6×), New Jersey (3.5×), and New York (3.1×), and least common in Georgia (0.42×).

2,796 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.
