Across 2016–2025, Dutton was most concentrated in Nebraska — about 1 in 2,857 boys, against 1 in 10,824 across all states with data. It was least common in New York (1 in 100,000).
Shading is the share of that state's recorded boys given this name, not the raw count — otherwise the map would just show which states are biggest. Unshaded states have no published records for this period. U.S. birth records suppress state-year counts below 5; state counts therefore don't add up to the national total. Every state links to its full rankings.
