Bayne is an uncommon given name of Scottish origin, derived from the Scottish surname Bain. The surname Bain is believed to have originated from one of two places: either it was a nickname for a pale or fair-skinned person, from the Middle English word 'bain' meaning white; or it could be an occupational name for a baker, from the Old French word 'baing' meaning oven.
The name Bayne is thought to have first appeared as a given name in Scotland during the 18th century. However, it has remained relatively uncommon and is not typically associated with any specific region or culture beyond its Scottish roots.
Today, Bayne continues to be used as a given name, particularly in English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States. While it may not be a popular choice compared to other names, those who bear the name Bayne carry a unique and distinct Scottish heritage with them.
