The name Jo for girls in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1978 to 2010.
This page shows the Jo (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1978 to 2010. Each row below is one year in which Jo 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 Jo'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 Jo for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Jo appears in 25 of them, from 1978 to 2010, with 133 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1994, when the table records 10 babies given the name, at rank 320 among all first names for girls that year.
Figures cover every year from 1978 to 2010; years in which the table records no row for Jo 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.
