The name Harper for girls in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 2011 to 2025.
This page shows the Harper (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 2011 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Harper 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 Harper'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 Harper for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Harper appears in 15 of them, from 2011 to 2025, with 1,901 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2017, when the table records 203 babies given the name, at rank 18 among all first names for girls that year.
Figures cover every year from 2011 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Harper 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.
