Where Soledad is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Soledad has been most common in Texas (5.5×), California (5×), and New Mexico (2.5×), and least common in Illinois (0.43×).

2,635 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.
