Where Matias is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Matias has been most common in Nevada (3.1×), Texas (3×), and Florida (3×), and least common in Kentucky (0.12×).

23,569 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.
