This page shows the Violet (girls) 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 Violet 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 Violet'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 Violet for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Violet appears in 28 of them, from 1974 to 2025, with 875 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2024, when the table records 89 babies given the name, at rank 41 among all first names for girls that year.

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