Where Stone is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Stone has been most common in Utah (3.9×), Florida (2.4×), and Colorado (2.3×), and least common in Minnesota (0.36×).

4,576 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.
