This page shows the Nela (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 2010 to 2024. Each row below is one year in which Nela 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 Nela'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 Nela for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Nela appears in 13 of them, from 2010 to 2024, with 69 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2018, when the table records 10 babies given the name, at rank 348 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 2010 to 2024; years in which the table records no row for Nela 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.
