The name Wilson for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1975 to 2024.
This page shows the Wilson (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1975 to 2024. Each row below is one year in which Wilson 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 Wilson'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 Wilson for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Wilson appears in 24 of them, from 1975 to 2024, with 105 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2011, when the table records 8 babies given the name, at rank 386 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 1975 to 2024; years in which the table records no row for Wilson 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.
