It looks like there are many clans - like the surnames "Hill" or "Green" in English, which are also habitational:
Blair
Scottish and northern Irish: habitational name from any of the numerous places in Scotland called Blair, named with Scottish Gaelic blàr (genitive blàir) ‘plain’, ‘field’, especially a battlefield (Irish blár).

There are dozens of links for getting started in genealogy in the resolved questions, if you are interested. Most young people are not, after they find out it means a research effort akin to writing a term paper.
