This page shows the Ava (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1990 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Ava 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 Ava'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 Ava for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Ava appears in 31 of them, from 1990 to 2025, with 6,761 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2010, when the table records 495 babies given the name, at rank 3 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1990 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Ava 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.
