The name Rachel for girls in Scotland

This page shows the Rachel (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Rachel 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 Rachel'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 Rachel for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Rachel appears in 52 of them, from 1974 to 2025, with 11,587 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1993, when the table records 555 babies given the name, at rank 8 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Rachel 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.
