The name Ciaran for boys in Scotland

This page shows the Ciaran (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1975 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Ciaran 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 Ciaran'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 Ciaran for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Ciaran appears in 47 of them, from 1975 to 2025, with 2,033 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2004, when the table records 118 babies given the name, at rank 58 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1975 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Ciaran 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.
