What the Data Says About Arran

As a boy's name, Arran currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 2008, when 15 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Arran performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 87 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Arran shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Arran in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 279 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
