The name Muhammad for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1974 to 2025.
This page shows the Muhammad (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Muhammad was recorded as a first name for boys in Scotland: the number of babies given the name that year and the name's rank among Muhammad's first-name rivals that year — that is, the rank the source table itself gives the row, among all first names for boys that year.
The record for Muhammad for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Muhammad appears in 52 of them, from 1974 to 2025, with 3,197 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2024, when the table records 293 babies given the name, at rank 2 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Muhammad for boys 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.
