Where Santino is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Santino has been most common in New Jersey (3×), Nevada (2.8×), and Arizona (2.8×), and least common in Missouri (0.14×).

11,659 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.
