This page shows the Alisdair (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2017. Each row below is one year in which Alisdair was recorded as a first name for boys in Scotland: the number of babies given the name that year and the name's rank among Alisdair's first-name rivals that year — that is, the rank the source table itself gives the row, among all first names for boys that year.

The record for Alisdair for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Alisdair appears in 35 of them, from 1974 to 2017, with 342 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1980, when the table records 20 babies given the name, at rank 123 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2017; years in which the table records no row for Alisdair for boys 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.
