The name Kieren for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1984 to 2012.
This page shows the Kieren (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1984 to 2012. Each row below is one year in which Kieren 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 Kieren'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 Kieren for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Kieren appears in 24 of them, from 1984 to 2012, with 248 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1995, when the table records 23 babies given the name, at rank 160 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 1984 to 2012; years in which the table records no row for Kieren 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.
