This page shows the Ronald (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2024. Each row below is one year in which Ronald 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 Ronald'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 Ronald for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Ronald appears in 47 of them, from 1974 to 2024, with 1,177 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1974, when the table records 111 babies given the name, at rank 63 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2024; years in which the table records no row for Ronald 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.
