The name Matilda for girls in Scotland

This page shows the Matilda (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1994 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Matilda 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 Matilda'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 Matilda for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Matilda appears in 30 of them, from 1994 to 2025, with 857 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2017, when the table records 58 babies given the name, at rank 78 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1994 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Matilda 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.
