The name Caleb for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1984 to 2025.
This page shows the Caleb (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1984 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Caleb 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 Caleb'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 Caleb for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Caleb appears in 34 of them, from 1984 to 2025, with 2,547 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2011, when the table records 148 babies given the name, at rank 51 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 1984 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Caleb 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.
