Scotland - more precisely from the parish of Traquair in Peeblesshire. A common practice in Medieval UK was for people to adopt a surname based on where they came from or their profession (my own surname included).

Spelling variations include Tracquair, Traquaire and Tracquaire.

I know it sounds unusual but it looks like it is Scottish.
