"Dweller on the plain"

From English / Germanic

Blaire means field or plain — from the Scottish Gaelic blàr. Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf is TV's most iconic queen bee. The Blair Witch Project invented found-footage horror. The E-ending feminises the Scottish surname into something that sounds like old money and headbands. Six letters of Scottish fields, Upper East Side scheming, and the witch who scared a generation.
