This page shows the Kenneth (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Kenneth 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 Kenneth'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 Kenneth for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Kenneth appears in 51 of them, from 1974 to 2025, with 5,030 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1975, when the table records 387 babies given the name, at rank 29 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Kenneth 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.
