Scottish Names

Scottish baby names may be familiar outside their native land, but many retain their distinctly Scottish style. While Scottish names may relate to both Ireland via their individual versions of the Gaelic language and to England via their shared heritage in the United Kingdom.

The most popular Scottish names today evidence that blend, with English names such as Emily and Jack sharing the stage with distinctly Scottish names such as Isla and Finlay. If you have Scottish heritage or simply love that beautiful land, you may be interested in finding a Scottish name for your baby.

The top names below rank among the current US Top 1000 Baby Names and are ordered by popularity. Unique names rank below the Top 1000 and are listed alphabetically.

Here, our full list of Scottish boys' names and Scottish girls' names.
