This page shows the Maeve (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1981 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Maeve 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 Maeve'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 Maeve for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Maeve appears in 32 of them, from 1981 to 2025, with 744 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2025, when the table records 130 babies given the name, at rank 23 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1981 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Maeve 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.
