Where Salomon is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Salomon has been most common in New Mexico (18×), Texas (4.5×), and Florida (3.8×), and least common in New York (0.77×).

2,236 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.
