The name Ruairidh for boys in Scotland

This page shows the Ruairidh (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1975 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Ruairidh 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 Ruairidh'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 Ruairidh for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Ruairidh appears in 50 of them, from 1975 to 2025, with 1,573 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2024, when the table records 84 babies given the name, at rank 56 among all first names for boys that year.
