Blaire is Scottish in Origin.

Blaire is a modern variant of Blair, a Scottish surname and given name from Scottish Gaelic blàr meaning “plain, field; battlefield,” a locational surname taken from several places called Blair across Scotland. Adoption as a given name grew in the 19th and 20th centuries through the Scottish diaspora and the wider fashion for surnames as first names. It remains unisex, with the final‑e spelling especially favored for girls in North America.

The name conveys “from the plain” or “dweller on the field,” with a faint martial shade via the “battlefield” sense. Members of Clan Blair bore the surname, and later public figures kept the base form in view; as a first name it rose in late‑20th‑century media and U.S. data, with sharper gains for Blaire since the 2010s. Variants include Blair (standard), Blaire (this form), and rarer Blayre; diminutives are uncommon.
