Guthrie is an English language surname with several independent origins. In some cases the surname is derived from a place in Scotland, located near Forfar, which is derived from the Gaelic gaothair, meaning " windy place ". Another origin of the name is from the Scottish Gaelic MagUchtre, meaning " son of Uchtre ". The personal name Uchtre is of uncertain origin. Another origin of the surname Guthrie is as an Anglicisation of the Irish Ó Fhlaithimh, meaning " descendant of Flaitheamh. "
