The name Bethany for girls in Scotland

This page shows the Bethany (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1979 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Bethany 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 Bethany'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 Bethany for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Bethany appears in 43 of them, from 1979 to 2025, with 2,530 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2000, when the table records 163 babies given the name, at rank 31 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1979 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Bethany 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.
