The name Jai for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1979 to 2020.
This page shows the Jai (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1979 to 2020. Each row below is one year in which Jai was recorded as a first name for boys in Scotland: the number of babies given the name that year and the name's rank among Jai's first-name rivals that year — that is, the rank the source table itself gives the row, among all first names for boys that year.
The record for Jai for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Jai appears in 28 of them, from 1979 to 2020, with 264 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2012, when the table records 27 babies given the name, at rank 201 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 1979 to 2020; years in which the table records no row for Jai for boys 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.
