This page shows the Alba (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 2003 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Alba 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 Alba'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 Alba for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Alba appears in 22 of them, from 2003 to 2025, with 655 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2025, when the table records 65 babies given the name, at rank 62 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 2003 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Alba 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.
