The name Neil for boys in Scotland

This page shows the Neil (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2023. Each row below is one year in which Neil 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 Neil'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 Neil for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Neil appears in 49 of them, from 1974 to 2023, with 7,356 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1975, when the table records 520 babies given the name, at rank 21 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2023; years in which the table records no row for Neil 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.
