Blond Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a nickname. 'the blonde' (v. Blunt), fair of complexion.
(Anglo-French-Teut.) Fair, Light-com- plexioned. [Anglo-French blond, blund, blunt, blount, Old French blond-e, of Teutonic orig.] Reginald le Blond.—Hundred Rolls ONDEL, ONDELL = Blond (q.v.) + the French diminutive suff. -el.
French blond, fair-haired, light-complexioned. The great baronial house of Blount, lords Mountjoy, deduced themselves from William, son of Blound, earl of Guisnes, one of the companions of the Conqueror, who was traditionally derived from the Biondi of Italy and the Flavii of classical Rome! It is probable that there are several families so designated from the personal peculiarity of the original assumers, without any consanguinity. It has taken various forms; as for example in the H.R. le Blend, le Blent, Blunt, le Blunte, le Blound, &c. It may be regarded as the Anglo-Norman synonym of our indigenous White; and some of the Irish Blunts have in recent times translated it into White. The Norwegian royal surname, Harfager, means ' fair-haired,' and in the H.R. we have a Flaxennehed.
(Northen French) Of lair hair or complexion; from the French Blond. This family trace their origin to the Blondi or Brondi of Italy, so named from their fair complexion. They went into England with William the Conqueror.
