This page shows the Joel (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1976 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Joel 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 Joel'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 Joel for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Joel appears in 50 of them, from 1976 to 2025, with 875 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2008, when the table records 40 babies given the name, at rank 150 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1976 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Joel 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.
