Scottish Baby Names

Bravery, pride, and valor are just some of the character traits that are embedded in Scottish baby names.

Strong personality and tradition, cultural and natural beauty are qualities of the land and the people of Scottland. Undoubtedly one would want to pass benefits like these to their child, by choosing a Scottish name.

The early Scottish names mainly originated from Celts and Picts. Parents in Medieval Scotland didn’t have the freedom to choose baby names as we have today.

There is a great diversity of Scottish names, due to the mixture and influences of other cultures, such as the Roman and the Scandinavian.

Scots are polite and practical, reserved and forthright, hard working and appreciative of the arts.

A recent study published by the Cambridge University suggests that Scottish people are the most friendly people in Britain.

Descending from Celtic tribes, the Picts, and the Caledonians, they learned to fight and claim their pride and freedom through tough times and all sorts of invaders.

Scotland has given us creative, meaningful and attractive names to choose from.
