This page shows the Iona (girls) 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 Iona 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 Iona'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 Iona for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Iona appears in 52 of them, from 1974 to 2025, with 3,274 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2007, when the table records 144 babies given the name, at rank 44 among all first names for girls that year.

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