Thinking about the name
Weir
English origin
“A Scottish and English surname-name derived from the Old English 'wær' or 'weer,' meaning 'weir' (a low dam in a river). Used as a given name, Weir carries an earthy, surname-style charm with connections to landscape and Scottish heritage. It's compact, distinctive, and appeals to parents seeking nature-inspired names with gravitas.”
