Girl name · 13 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Mary-Anne: 13 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1983.

While not itself a place name, the two components appear widely in locations like St Mary's Kirk and Anne Arundel County. In Scotland, the hyphenated form became especially popular from the mid-20
