This page shows the Aran (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1988 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Aran 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 Aran'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 Aran for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Aran appears in 16 of them, from 1988 to 2025, with 70 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2008, when the table records 8 babies given the name, at rank 366 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1988 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Aran 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.
