Where Patricio is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Patricio has been most common in New Mexico (11×), Texas (8×), and California (2.5×), and least common in New York (0.32×).

3,037 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.
