Where Rodolfo is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Rodolfo has been most common in Texas (6.3×), Arizona (3.4×), and California (3.1×), and least common in Indiana (0.05×).

30,599 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.
