ArchivesRe: Meaning and origin
in reply to a message by elbowin
Fair meaning light as in a 'fair complexion' isn't a Latin word from what I can find on Merriam-Webster's site. It's from Old English. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fair?show=0&t=1404423756 I can see where you get the meaning, but I don't think many names come from two separate languages like that.
