The name Islay for girls in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1979 to 2025.
This page shows the Islay (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1979 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Islay 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 Islay'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 Islay for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Islay appears in 34 of them, from 1979 to 2025, with 272 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2013, when the table records 16 babies given the name, at rank 254 among all first names for girls that year.
Figures cover every year from 1979 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Islay 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.
