This page shows the Mellissa (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1982 to 2000. Each row below is one year in which Mellissa 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 Mellissa'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 Mellissa for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Mellissa appears in 13 of them, from 1982 to 2000, with 56 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1987, when the table records 9 babies given the name, at rank 323 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1982 to 2000; years in which the table records no row for Mellissa 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.
