Blane is an uncommon, yet distinguished name of Scottish origin. It is derived from the Gaelic word 'bláth', which means 'bloom' or 'flower'. This name evokes images of natural beauty and growth. Blane is often associated with the Irish Sea inlet known as Loch Fyne, where the village of Blair Badenoch lies. Historically, it has been used by several Scottish clans, including the MacBlains and the Mackintoshes. Despite its historical roots, Blane remains relatively uncommon today, making it a unique choice for those looking to diverge from more traditional names.
