This page shows the Rita (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 Rita 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 Rita'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 Rita for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Rita appears in 19 of them, from 1974 to 2025, with 71 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2024, when the table records 7 babies given the name, at rank 431 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 Rita 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.
