The name Ralph for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1974 to 2025.
This page shows the Ralph (boys) 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 Ralph 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 Ralph'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 Ralph for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Ralph appears in 39 of them, from 1974 to 2025, with 332 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1977, when the table records 20 babies given the name, at rank 124 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Ralph 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.
