The name Eilis for girls in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1997 to 2017.
This page shows the Eilis (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1997 to 2017. Each row below is one year in which Eilis 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 Eilis'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 Eilis for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Eilis appears in 4 of them, from 1997 to 2017, with 15 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2005, when the table records 5 babies given the name, at rank 509 among all first names for girls that year.
Figures cover every year from 1997 to 2017; years in which the table records no row for Eilis 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.
