This page shows the Alanah (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1984 to 2012. Each row below is one year in which Alanah 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 Alanah'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 Alanah for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Alanah appears in 20 of them, from 1984 to 2012, with 143 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1994, when the table records 16 babies given the name, at rank 239 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1984 to 2012; years in which the table records no row for Alanah 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.
