Decade-level aggregation shows that Scotland performed strongest in the 2020s, accumulating 291 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Scotland shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 46 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Utah and Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Scotland in 7 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Scotland 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 633 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
