This page shows the Will (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1998 to 2023. Each row below is one year in which Will 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 Will'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 Will for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Will appears in 24 of them, from 1998 to 2023, with 152 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2009, when the table records 12 babies given the name, at rank 308 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1998 to 2023; years in which the table records no row for Will 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.
