Adayre is in Origin.

Adayre is a modern, ornamented spelling of Adair/Adare, names with Scottish and Irish roots. The surname Adair is attested in Galloway and Ulster, and is often linked to the Irish place-name Adare, from Gaelic Áth Dara, “ford of the oak.” As a result, Adayre carries the evocative meaning “at the oak ford” or “ford by the oaks,” pairing nature imagery with a place-based heritage.

Used as a given name since the 18th–19th centuries in Britain and America via the surname route, it now reads comfortably unisex and has seen broader adoption in the United States and Canada. Contemporary variants include Adair (standard), Adaire, Adare, and the feminized Adaira; short forms Addy and Dare are common. Though related in sense to the Irish personal names Daire/Dara (“oak, fruitful”), Adayre remains a distinct surname-derived choice.
