This page shows the Tom (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Tom 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 Tom'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 Tom for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Tom appears in 51 of them, from 1974 to 2025, with 1,071 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2003, when the table records 45 babies given the name, at rank 115 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Tom 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.
