The name Kris for boys 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 Kris (boys) 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 Kris 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 Kris'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 Kris for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Kris appears in 43 of them, from 1974 to 2016, with 973 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1981, when the table records 70 babies given the name, at rank 83 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2016; years in which the table records no row for Kris 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.
