They took the top 250 last names in the country and compared the prevalence in each state to the national prevalence. Whichever name for each state had the largest variance from the national prevalence is the most "distinctive" name for that state. Boudreaux and other "Cajun" names that are certainly more prevalent in LA than in the rest of the nation don't appear because they don't meet the criteria of being in the top 250 nationwide.
