Paulina
Girl name · 46 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Paulina: 46 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 9 births in 2009.
Rooted in Latin, Paulina is the feminine form of Paul, derived from Paulus meaning "small" or "humble." The name has been borne by notable figures across the arts, including supermodel Paulina Porizkova and Mexican singer Paulina Rubio, as well as historical figures such as Uruguayan physician and feminist Paulina Luisi. While not a place name in its own right, it shares its etymological root with many locations worldwide, from São Paulo in Brazil to Saint-Paul in France. A popular choice in Poland and parts of Latin America, Paulina offers a softer, elegant alternative to the more common Pauline, and has a timeless appeal that feels both classic and fresh for modern Scottish parents.
