This page shows the Francis (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Francis 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 Francis'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 Francis for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Francis appears in 52 of them, from 1974 to 2025, with 1,386 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1975, when the table records 109 babies given the name, at rank 66 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Francis 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.
