Blaire Origin and Meaning

The name Blaire is a boy's name.

Blaire as a masculine name represents an interesting gender crossover from what has become more commonly used for girls in recent decades. With Scottish and Gaelic origins, Blaire derives from a surname meaning 'plain' or 'field,' though some connect it to the Gaelic 'blár' meaning 'battlefield.' Traditionally, Blair without the final 'e' was more common for boys, while the 'Blaire' spelling has been increasingly adopted for girls. As a masculine name, Blaire carries an aristocratic, distinguished quality with its crisp sound and historical connections to Scottish nobility. The name projects strength and refinement simultaneously. Though relatively uncommon for boys in contemporary usage, it offers parents seeking a distinctive masculine name something with historical depth and a sophisticated sound while still being short and straightforward.
