Where Stetson is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Stetson has been most common in Idaho (6.9×), Utah (6.6×), and Montana (4.3×), and least common in New York (0.05×).

13,722 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.
