This page shows the Joss (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1988 to 2013. Each row below is one year in which Joss 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 Joss'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 Joss for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Joss appears in 14 of them, from 1988 to 2013, with 63 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1990, when the table records 7 babies given the name, at rank 246 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1988 to 2013; years in which the table records no row for Joss 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.
