This page shows the Cornelius (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 1985. Each row below is one year in which Cornelius 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 Cornelius'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 Cornelius for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Cornelius appears in 6 of them, from 1974 to 1985, with 24 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1974, when the table records 7 babies given the name, at rank 221 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 1985; years in which the table records no row for Cornelius 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.
