Scotland is known for being home to many unique and wonderful names that have fascinating and historical origins.
Whether it is boys names like Angus, girls name such as Ailsa, or even unisex names, you are likely to encounter people every day whose monikers sound distinctly Scottish. Perhaps even more interestingly, there are names you may have encountered that you likely have no idea have Scottish origins, for example Janet.
With the popularity of television shows set in Scotland such as Outlander in recent years, some names such as Dougal and Laoghaire that were previously out of vogue are once again seeing increased usage.
