The name Sharon for girls in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1974 to 2024.
This page shows the Sharon (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2024. Each row below is one year in which Sharon was recorded as a first name for girls in Scotland: the number of babies given the name that year and the name's rank among Sharon's first-name rivals that year — that is, the rank the source table itself gives the row, among all first names for girls that year.
The record for Sharon for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Sharon appears in 33 of them, from 1974 to 2024, with 5,036 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1974, when the table records 720 babies given the name, at rank 6 among all first names for girls that year.
Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2024; years in which the table records no row for Sharon for girls 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.
