Where Vicente is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Vicente has been most common in New Mexico (7.7×), Arizona (4.5×), and Texas (4.4×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.04×).

18,877 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.
