Bleu
Boy name · 14 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Bleu: 14 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 5 births in 2022.
Though often associated with the French word for "blue," Bleu can also be a modern spelling variant of the Gaelic name Blath, meaning "flower" or "bloom." In Scotland, it remains a rare and contemporary choice, likely influenced by the stylish simplicity of colour names. The most famous bearer is the American actor and musician Bleu, known for his work on Broadway and in independent films. While no major places share the exact name, the colour blue is deeply woven into Scottish identity through the Saltire flag. Notably, Bleu entered Scottish baby name records only in the 2010s, reflecting a broader trend towards unconventional, nature-inspired names among modern parents.
