The name Soraya for girls in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1976 to 2018.
This page shows the Soraya (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1976 to 2018. Each row below is one year in which Soraya 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 Soraya'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 Soraya for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Soraya appears in 5 of them, from 1976 to 2018, with 18 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1976, when the table records 5 babies given the name, at rank 411 among all first names for girls that year.
Figures cover every year from 1976 to 2018; years in which the table records no row for Soraya 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.
