It is used in Scotland, Northern England (especially Northumberland, Durham, and Yorkshire), and parts of Ireland, to mean a child, either a son or daughter. People typically say "The bairns are playing outside" or "He's a bonny bairn." The term originated in Old English and Old Norse ("barn"), remained in Northern British dialects while disappearing from Southern English, and remains a strong marker of Scottish and Northern English identity.
