Sayre is an uncommon masculine name with English origins, primarily derived from an occupational surname for a woodcutter or carpenter. It comes from the Middle English word 'saghiere' meaning 'sawyer.' Alternatively, it may have originated as a place name, referring to someone from Sayre in Essex, England. The place name derives from Old English elements meaning 'stream where sea trout are caught.' As a first name, Sayre has a distinguished, somewhat aristocratic feel with its clean, simple sound and unique spelling. Though never widely popular in the United States, it appeals to parents seeking a distinctive name with historical roots and a contemporary sound.
