The name Taylor for boys in Scotland

This page shows the Taylor (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1979 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Taylor 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 Taylor'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 Taylor for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Taylor appears in 40 of them, from 1979 to 2025, with 1,961 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2004, when the table records 113 babies given the name, at rank 64 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1979 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Taylor 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.
