This page shows the Cheryl (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2012. Each row below is one year in which Cheryl 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 Cheryl'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 Cheryl for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Cheryl appears in 35 of them, from 1974 to 2012, with 3,638 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1987, when the table records 274 babies given the name, at rank 24 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2012; years in which the table records no row for Cheryl 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.
