This page shows the Petra (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1975 to 2023. Each row below is one year in which Petra 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 Petra'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 Petra for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Petra appears in 14 of them, from 1975 to 2023, with 51 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1976, when the table records 6 babies given the name, at rank 371 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1975 to 2023; years in which the table records no row for Petra 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.
