The name Kristen for girls in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1974 to 2014.
This page shows the Kristen (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2014. Each row below is one year in which Kristen 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 Kristen'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 Kristen for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Kristen appears in 29 of them, from 1974 to 2014, with 164 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1998, when the table records 13 babies given the name, at rank 263 among all first names for girls that year.
Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2014; years in which the table records no row for Kristen 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.
