Traquair Family History
Traquair Name Meaning
from Traquair (Peebless) recorded in about 1120 as Treverquyrd. The place-name is apparently from Brittonic *trev ‘farm settlement’ + the ancestor of the local stream-name Quair though the 12th-century spelling suggests another element the definite article *ir between these two.
