Nayrne is Scottish in Origin.

Nayrne is a modern respelling of the Scottish surname and place-name Nairne/Nairn, taken from the coastal town of Nairn in the Highlands. The toponym ultimately reflects the Gaelic Inbhir Narann, "mouth of the River Nairn," where Narann is an ancient river name probably of Pictish or early Celtic origin and of uncertain meaning. As a transferred surname, it works as a given name with a locative sense: from Nairn or dweller by the River Nairn.

Used sporadically as a first name in Scotland since the 19th century and more visibly in the 20th, it appears for both genders, in keeping with Scottish surname-given names. Variants include Nairn, Nairne, and the simplified Nayrn; other creative spellings occur but are rare. The form Nayrne emphasizes the vowel of "Nairn" while retaining the final e of "Nairne." Cultural echoes include the Jacobite peerage title Lord/Lady Nairne and Scots song traditions.
