The name Cain for boys in Scotland

This page shows the Cain (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1996 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Cain 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 Cain'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 Cain for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Cain appears in 27 of them, from 1996 to 2025, with 164 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2017, when the table records 12 babies given the name, at rank 318 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1996 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Cain 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.
