The name Kai for boys in Scotland

This page shows the Kai (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1981 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Kai 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 Kai'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 Kai for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Kai appears in 41 of them, from 1981 to 2025, with 3,374 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2013, when the table records 216 babies given the name, at rank 28 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1981 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Kai 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.
