The name Meghan for girls in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1985 to 2022.
This page shows the Meghan (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1985 to 2022. Each row below is one year in which Meghan 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 Meghan'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 Meghan for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Meghan appears in 37 of them, from 1985 to 2022, with 716 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1998, when the table records 55 babies given the name, at rank 94 among all first names for girls that year.
Figures cover every year from 1985 to 2022; years in which the table records no row for Meghan 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.
