This page shows the Chester (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 2008 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Chester 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 Chester'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 Chester for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Chester appears in 9 of them, from 2008 to 2025, with 111 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2020, when the table records 24 babies given the name, at rank 186 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 2008 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Chester 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.
