This page shows the Janet (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2000. Each row below is one year in which Janet 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 Janet'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 Janet for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Janet appears in 26 of them, from 1974 to 2000, with 784 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1974, when the table records 88 babies given the name, at rank 84 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2000; years in which the table records no row for Janet 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.
