Beaux
Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Beaux: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2017.
Rooted in the French word for 'handsome' or 'beautiful', Beaux is a stylish modern variation of the classic Beau, which first began appearing in Scottish birth records in the late 20th century. While its use remains relatively uncommon, it carries a sophisticated, cosmopolitan charm. The name shares its etymology with the French commune of Beaux in the Haute-Loire region, offering a subtle geographical link for those drawn to place-inspired names. In Scotland, Beaux has steadily gained a quiet following since the 1990s, often chosen by parents seeking an alternative spelling that feels both fresh and timeless. It also connects to the broader trend of using word names with positive meanings, though it remains far less widespread than the traditional Beau.
