Blake

Blake is a name with Old English origins, originally used as a surname. It is taken from the Old English word and the meaning of Blake is 'blaec', signifying 'dark'. This was taken from the Proto-Indo-European root 'bhleg', which meant 'to consume', 'glimmer', 'sparkle' or 'streak' . As English family names began to be created in the eleventh century, they were either to indicate a man's occupation, the town where he lived, a nickname or was one passed down from the dad's or mother's very own name. Blake was first seen in the twelfth century, written as 'le Blake' by a family in Devonshire. It didn't reach America until the seventeenth century when the family settled down in Virginia. The name can be used for either gender and there have been famous figures of both sexes with the name; the American actress Blake Lively and the country singer Blake Shelton are just two examples.
