This page shows the Preston (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 2005 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Preston 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 Preston'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 Preston for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Preston appears in 20 of them, from 2005 to 2025, with 195 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2006, when the table records 21 babies given the name, at rank 195 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 2005 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Preston 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.
