Blair is of Scottish origin specifically meaning “plain dweller”. The name is relatively new and not-so-popular in the United States.
I’d definitely not put Blair in the ‘’trendy’’ category. The name’s usage is dismal but she’s slowly starting to take off.
In the last couple of years, Blair is inching her way on the top 1000 list, ranking as the 404th most common name in the nation in 2019.
Being a newly invented name, only 30688 newborn girls have been named Blair ever since the American government began monitoring her usage patterns. The most Blair popularity ever grew was in 2018 with 723 occurrences.
Regardless of her rapid success, no one really can tell where she’s headed, maybe it’s just a matter of time before she secures a spot in the top 100 list.
Famous people named Blair include Model, Blair Wingo; American singer & actress Blair Tefkin, and American comedienne Blair Butler.
