Where Sabine is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Sabine has been most common in New York (4×), California (3.2×), and Florida (2.3×), and least common in Massachusetts (1.5×).

1,568 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.
