The name Ada for girls in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 2008 to 2025.
This page shows the Ada (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 2008 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Ada was recorded as a first name for girls in Scotland: the number of babies given the name that year and the name's rank among Ada's first-name rivals that year — that is, the rank the source table itself gives the row, among all first names for girls that year.
The record for Ada for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Ada appears in 18 of them, from 2008 to 2025, with 770 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2020, when the table records 88 babies given the name, at rank 47 among all first names for girls that year.
Figures cover every year from 2008 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Ada for girls are simply not listed. The publisher suppresses names with a total count of 2 or less in Scotland, so no figure here stands below 3.
