The name Kendal for girls in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1985 to 2021.
This page shows the Kendal (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1985 to 2021. Each row below is one year in which Kendal 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 Kendal'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 Kendal for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Kendal appears in 30 of them, from 1985 to 2021, with 179 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2012, when the table records 12 babies given the name, at rank 335 among all first names for girls that year.
Figures cover every year from 1985 to 2021; years in which the table records no row for Kendal 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.
