The name Cailan for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 2005 to 2022.
This page shows the Cailan (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 2005 to 2022. Each row below is one year in which Cailan 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 Cailan'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 Cailan for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Cailan appears in 5 of them, from 2005 to 2022, with 16 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2022, when the table records 4 babies given the name, at rank 590 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 2005 to 2022; years in which the table records no row for Cailan 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.
