The name Nihal for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 2008 to 2017.
This page shows the Nihal (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 2008 to 2017. Each row below is one year in which Nihal 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 Nihal'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 Nihal for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Nihal appears in 3 of them, from 2008 to 2017, with 11 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2008, when the table records 4 babies given the name, at rank 535 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 2008 to 2017; years in which the table records no row for Nihal 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.
