This page shows the Sorley (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1998 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Sorley 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 Sorley'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 Sorley for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Sorley appears in 19 of them, from 1998 to 2025, with 122 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2025, when the table records 11 babies given the name, at rank 316 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1998 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Sorley 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.
