The name Rueben for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 2009 to 2025.
This page shows the Rueben (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 2009 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Rueben 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 Rueben'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 Rueben for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Rueben appears in 15 of them, from 2009 to 2025, with 86 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2023, when the table records 10 babies given the name, at rank 341 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 2009 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Rueben 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.
