Guthre is a modern, streamlined spelling of Guthrie, a Scottish surname-turned-given name tied to the barony of Guthrie in Angus. The place-name is widely explained as Gaelic gaothair “windy place,” though some scholars leave the exact etymology open, noting possible Norse or Gaelic layering typical of eastern Scotland.

As a forename, it followed the broader Anglophone pattern of adopting surnames in the 19th and 20th centuries, with North American use buoyed by the cultural footprint of folk singer Woody Guthrie (as a surname). Usage skews masculine but works as a unisex choice in contemporary naming. Variants and near-forms include Guthrie, Guthry, Guthree, and Gutrie; nicknames may be Guth or Ree. Meaning: “from the windy place” or “of the Guthrie lands,” signaling geographic roots and bracing, weathered imagery.
