About The Balfour Ancient Tartan
From any of several places in eastern Scotland named with Gaelic bail(e) 'village, farm, house' + puir, genitive case of por 'pasture, grass' (lenited to phuir in certain contexts). The second element is akin to Welsh pawr 'pasture'.
The principal British family bearing this name derives it from the barony of Balfour in the parish of Markinch, Fife. According to the traditional pronunciation, the accent falls on the second syllable, but these days it is found more commonly on the first.
