The modern version of Scottish traditional baby girl names

Scotland parents didn’t have the freedom to choose baby names during the medieval era, as they have now. There were very few names considered to be accepted, so the options were very less. Over the time the naming trends became more flexible under the influences of European culture. Parents are increasingly selecting names which are different and have variations in spelling. The Scottish surnames were the outcome of your occupation, living area, native place or hierarchy name.
