This page shows the Jan (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 1997. Each row below is one year in which Jan 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 Jan'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 Jan for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Jan appears in 22 of them, from 1974 to 1997, with 291 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1979, when the table records 27 babies given the name, at rank 175 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 1997; years in which the table records no row for Jan 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.
