History Pages…
Female Scottish names are most often of Celtic origin, but it is not uncommon to observe the use of Anglo-Scottish or Gaelic variants in society. In addition, in the territory of modern Scotland, more and more children began to be given "international" names of a Christian orientation. It should be noted that this article considers names exclusively from the above categories, because they are the most common in society today (as they were in previous periods of human life).
The Scots have rooted a very interesting trend thatconsists in the possibility of giving the child two names at once (first and middle name, however, as in England). In addition, some changes are made to the Scottish name book every year. And there is absolutely nothing to be surprised here, because every year more and more new names are born, even more consonant and original. With this, of course, versatility in terms of phonetics is also formed.
