Historically, it referred to a place, often indicating someone from a specific flat area.

For females, the 'e' ending often softens the sound, adding a touch of modern femininity while retaining its strong Celtic roots.

History & Popularity
Blair originated as a Scottish surname, later becoming a popular male given name in Scotland and then in English-speaking countries. The spelling 'Blaire' with an 'e' is a more modern adaptation, primarily gaining traction as a feminine variant, particularly in the United States and, to a lesser extent, the United Kingdom. While Blair (without the 'e') has a longer history and is more often associated with males or unisex use, Blaire distinctly leans feminine. Its popularity has been on a slow but steady rise in the US, partly due to characters in popular culture, appealing to parents looking for a strong yet feminine name. In the UK, it remains less common but is recognized due to its Scottish heritage and transatlantic influence.
