Blayre

Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Blayre: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2024.

A modern twist on the classic Scottish surname Blair, Blayre retains the Gaelic meaning of 'plain' or 'field' from its root 'blàr'. Though less common, it shares the same evocative connection to Scotland's open landscapes. Notable bearers of the original form include former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and actor Blair Underwood. Scottish places like Blairgowrie and Blair Atholl also stem from the same etymological source. Today, Blayre is predominantly chosen for girls, offering a contemporary spelling that still honours the name's ancient origins.
