This page shows the Chris (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1975 to 2023. Each row below is one year in which Chris 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 Chris'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 Chris for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Chris appears in 44 of them, from 1975 to 2023, with 287 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1988, when the table records 16 babies given the name, at rank 149 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1975 to 2023; years in which the table records no row for Chris 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.
