This page shows the Gilbert (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 1988. Each row below is one year in which Gilbert 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 Gilbert'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 Gilbert for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Gilbert appears in 11 of them, from 1974 to 1988, with 54 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1975, when the table records 11 babies given the name, at rank 172 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 1988; years in which the table records no row for Gilbert 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.
