This page shows the Nikolas (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1978 to 2024. Each row below is one year in which Nikolas 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 Nikolas'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 Nikolas for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Nikolas appears in 21 of them, from 1978 to 2024, with 91 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2019, when the table records 9 babies given the name, at rank 355 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1978 to 2024; years in which the table records no row for Nikolas 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.
