This page shows the Ruan (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1998 to 2022. Each row below is one year in which Ruan 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 Ruan'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 Ruan for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Ruan appears in 11 of them, from 1998 to 2022, with 49 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2021, when the table records 8 babies given the name, at rank 401 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1998 to 2022; years in which the table records no row for Ruan 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.
