The name Sebastian for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1977 to 2025.
This page shows the Sebastian (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1977 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Sebastian 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 Sebastian'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 Sebastian for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Sebastian appears in 43 of them, from 1977 to 2025, with 1,137 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2014, when the table records 70 babies given the name, at rank 102 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 1977 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Sebastian 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.
