Blaer

Icelandic or Scottish

"breeze or field"

Blaer Origin and Meaning

The name Blaer is a boy's name meaning "breeze or field".

Blær is a rare Icelandic name meaning "light gust or breeze" that made headlines due to one family's battle to be allowed to use it for their daughter. Iceland has strict name laws and it is not permitted to use a traditionally male name for a girl. The name was finally allowed when she was 15 years old. Blær is also a (female) character in a novel by the famous Icelandic writer Halldór Laxness.

Alternatively, Blaer may be considered a variant spelling of the Scottish name Blair, meaning "dweller by the plain".
