This page shows the Bernard (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 Bernard 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 Bernard'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 Bernard for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Bernard appears in 34 of them, from 1974 to 2025, with 275 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1975, when the table records 28 babies given the name, at rank 112 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 Bernard 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.
