This page shows the Pearl (girls) 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 Pearl 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 Pearl'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 Pearl for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Pearl appears in 14 of them, from 1978 to 2024, with 71 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2024, when the table records 9 babies given the name, at rank 351 among all first names for girls that year.

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