The name Archibald for boys in Scotland

This page shows the Archibald (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Archibald 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 Archibald'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 Archibald for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Archibald appears in 50 of them, from 1974 to 2025, with 400 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2009, when the table records 19 babies given the name, at rank 222 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Archibald 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.
