This page shows the Elinor (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2020. Each row below is one year in which Elinor 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 Elinor'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 Elinor for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Elinor appears in 22 of them, from 1974 to 2020, with 108 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1980, when the table records 11 babies given the name, at rank 286 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2020; years in which the table records no row for Elinor 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.
