Bayne Origin and Meaning

The name Bayne is a boy's name.

Bayne is a masculine name with Scottish origins, derived from a surname meaning 'fair-haired' or 'white.' In Scottish history, it was both a given name and a clan name. The name carries historical weight through its connection to Macbeth, where a character named Banquo (whose descendants formed the Bayne clan) appears. Bayne has a strong, concise sound that appeals to parents seeking short, powerful names for boys. Despite its ancient roots, the name maintains a modern feel with its single syllable and distinctive spelling. While never extremely popular, Bayne has maintained a steady, if uncommon, presence in naming records. Its rarity gives it a distinctive quality without seeming completely unfamiliar.
