Scottish girls' names spring from Gaelic, Norse, and the borderlands where Scotland met England — each one shaped by Highland clans, lowland merchants, and the particular music of Scots speech. You'll find names like Fiona and Edna that emerged from Gaelic roots, alongside Bonnie, which took an old word for beauty and turned it into a name. The tradition runs deep: naming was how families held place, kept memory alive, and marked who belonged to what clan.
Alongside the well-known stands the more particular — Lessie, Camryn, and names pulled from Scottish locales and saints. Each entry below shows its meaning and where it comes from, so you can see what drew a generation of Scottish parents to one name over another.
