This page shows the Ruari (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1979 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Ruari 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 Ruari'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 Ruari for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Ruari appears in 43 of them, from 1979 to 2025, with 409 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2007, when the table records 18 babies given the name, at rank 215 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1979 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Ruari 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.
