The name Kimberley for girls in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1974 to 2016.
This page shows the Kimberley (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2016. Each row below is one year in which Kimberley 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 Kimberley'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 Kimberley for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Kimberley appears in 43 of them, from 1974 to 2016, with 3,585 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1988, when the table records 260 babies given the name, at rank 26 among all first names for girls that year.
Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2016; years in which the table records no row for Kimberley 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.
