The name Michaela for girls in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1976 to 2025.
This page shows the Michaela (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1976 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Michaela 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 Michaela'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 Michaela for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Michaela appears in 49 of them, from 1976 to 2025, with 1,019 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1989, when the table records 88 babies given the name, at rank 77 among all first names for girls that year.
Figures cover every year from 1976 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Michaela 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.
