2010–2019 · 74,175 recorded births
William was the most common name given in District of Columbia across the 2010s, with 820 births in the decade. The state recorded 74,175 births in total over those years.
Names given far more often here than nationally in these years. The multiplier is conservative — it is the low end of the plausible range, so a name carried by a handful of births does not outrank one carried by hundreds.
