This page shows the River (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 2008 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which River 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 River'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 River for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, River appears in 15 of them, from 2008 to 2025, with 232 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2023, when the table records 35 babies given the name, at rank 138 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 2008 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for River 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.
