This page shows the Shawn (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1978 to 2024. Each row below is one year in which Shawn 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 Shawn'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 Shawn for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Shawn appears in 30 of them, from 1978 to 2024, with 172 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1998, when the table records 14 babies given the name, at rank 197 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1978 to 2024; years in which the table records no row for Shawn 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.
