Blair Name Meaning and History
(origin: Celtic. Local) From Blair or Blar, which originally signified "a cleared plain," but from the Celts generally choosing such plains for their fields of battle, blair came to signify a battle. There is a small village called the Blair near Lochord, about two miles from Lochleven, in Fifeshire, Scotland. It signifies a spot where a battle was fought, "locus pugnœ." Here, it is supposed, an engagement took place between the Romans and the Caledonians, A.D. 83.
