This page shows the Irene (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2023. Each row below is one year in which Irene 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 Irene'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 Irene for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Irene appears in 21 of them, from 1974 to 2023, with 386 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1974, when the table records 58 babies given the name, at rank 112 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2023; years in which the table records no row for Irene 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.
