This page shows the Ishbel (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2024. Each row below is one year in which Ishbel 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 Ishbel'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 Ishbel for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Ishbel appears in 37 of them, from 1974 to 2024, with 151 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2000, when the table records 8 babies given the name, at rank 346 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2024; years in which the table records no row for Ishbel 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.
