Blaer is Icelandic in Origin.

Blaer (Icelandic Blær) is a modern Icelandic given name drawn from Old Norse blær, meaning “breeze,” “gentle wind,” or “soft breath.” The word has long existed in the North Germanic lexicon, and as a name it carries a light, nature-evoking tone favored in contemporary Iceland. Though uncommon, it fits within the Icelandic tradition of abstract nature names.

Use as a given name was once listed as masculine in Iceland’s official register, leading to a notable 2013 court ruling that affirmed Blær for girls as well; it is now treated as unisex in Iceland. Outside Iceland the diacritic is often dropped, yielding Blaer. Some bearers adopt Blair as a practical international substitute, though Blair is a separate Scottish surname-name meaning “plain, field,” not a true variant. Related spellings: Blær (Icelandic standard), Blaer (transliteration).
