The name Oban for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 2013 to 2025.
This page shows the Oban (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 2013 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Oban 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 Oban'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 Oban for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Oban appears in 9 of them, from 2013 to 2025, with 54 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2024, when the table records 12 babies given the name, at rank 307 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 2013 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Oban 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.
