Where Weston is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Weston has been most common in Utah (3.6×), Idaho (3.1×), and Wyoming (2.4×), and least common in Hawaii (0.17×).

71,826 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.
