Blane as a feminine name represents a gender-crossing variant of the traditionally masculine name. With Scottish and Gaelic origins, Blane derives from 'Bláán,' meaning 'yellow' or possibly referring to 'flank of a hill.' While predominantly used for boys, its adoption as a girl's name reflects the modern trend of gender-neutral naming.

Its brief, one-syllable structure and soft consonants provide a minimalist elegance that works well in contemporary naming trends for girls.
