The name Axel for boys in Scotland

This page shows the Axel (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 2010 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Axel 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 Axel'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 Axel for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Axel appears in 15 of them, from 2010 to 2025, with 246 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2022, when the table records 44 babies given the name, at rank 126 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 2010 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Axel 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.
