Where Trent is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Trent has been most common in Utah (3×), Idaho (2.2×), and Iowa (2×), and least common in Rhode Island (0.17×).

48,615 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.
