Blayke

Blayke is a variant spelling of the English surname name Blake, which is derived from the Old English word 'blæc' meaning 'pale' or 'dark-haired'.

The name Blake was originally an occupational surname given to someone who worked with pitch or tar, or perhaps had a very dark complexion.

As a first name, Blayke is a relatively modern invention, likely created as a more feminine-sounding variant of Blake for baby girls.

The name has been rising in popularity in recent years, perhaps influenced by the trend of adding unique spellings to traditional names.
