Where Shlomo is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Shlomo has been most common in New Jersey (11×), New York (8.6×), and Maryland (0.74×), and least common in California (0.09×).

4,907 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.
