Where Natividad is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Natividad has been most common in Texas (9.9×), New Mexico (3.9×), and California (1.9×), and least common in New York (0.33×).

2,127 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.
