Blayne

Boy name · 18 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Blayne: 18 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2019.

Blayne is a modern variant of the Scottish surname and given name Blaine, which itself stems from the Gaelic *blá* meaning "yellow" – a reference to fair hair or a bright complexion. The name may also be an anglicised form of the Irish surname Ó Bláthmhaic, meaning "descendant of Bláthmhac" (flower-son). Notable bearers include American actor Blayne Weaver, known for his roles in *Sky High* and as the voice of Peter Pan in Disney sequels, and Canadian singer-songwriter Blayne (born Blayne Lastman). While no major settlement bears the exact spelling Blayne, the closely related Blaine appears in towns across the United States and Canada. A softer, more modern alternative to the traditional Blaine, this spelling offers a distinctive twist on a classic Scottish-rooted name.
