Blaikie is a Scottish surname. It is from "''blaik''" (adj.), a Scots language form of "black" plus the common Scots diminutive ''"-ie"''. The ''Dictionar o the Scots Leid'' ("Dictionary of the Scots Language") gives its etymology as: "''Blaik, a. (and ME. blake, ME. blaak(e, OE. blace, blaca, etc., declensional forms of blæc Blak a. ) Black. ''".〔http://www.dsl.ac.uk/getent4.php?plen=1250&startset=3760193&dtext=dost&query=Blaik〕 Into the 20th century the name has appeared in inextricably confused forms, often interchangeably with the spelling "Blackie" in parish, census and statutory records.
