In what is now Scotland, citizens tend to choose names according to the list proposed by the Central Register Office for Scotland. It should be noted that the names of the Scots are very similar to the Irish (the difference is noticeable only in the pronunciation process). How original and numerous is the name system in a given country, and what do Scotland residents call their children today?
Pages of history ...
Female Scottish names are most often of Celtic origin, but it is often possible to observe the use of Anglo-Scottish or Gaelic variants in society. In addition, in the territory of modern Scotland, more and more often children have been given “international” Christian names. It should be noted that in this article, names are considered exclusively from the above categories, because they are the ones that are most prevalent in society today (as they were in previous periods of human life).
The Scots have entrenched themselves in a very interesting trend, which is the possibility of endowing a child with two names at once (first and middle name, however, as in England). In addition, some changes are made to the Scottish nameplate annually. And there is absolutely nothing to be surprised at, because every year more and more new names are born, even more consonant and original. With this, naturally, the versatility in terms of phonetics is also formed.
Female Scottish names and their meanings
On the territory of modern Scotland, as in any other country in the world, any citizen wants to give his child an unusual and beautiful name. That is why with the birth of a baby, newly-minted parents often study women's Scottish names and their diversity. Thus, over many years of observation, several trends have been identified inherent in Scottish society. For example, today an interesting category is made up of female Scottish names with the letter “c”. This conclusion makes sense, if only because, in accordance with official information, it was revealed that the name Sophie is the leader, and it does begin directly with the letter presented. Names such as Seoneg, Seoneid, Sayn and Sinig mean "good god", and the name Sondra is completely interpreted as the protector of humanity.
