Blanchard

Widely considered as a diminutive of the word Blanc or Blanchart, the meaning of Blanchard is ‘pale complected’ or ‘white-haired’. Credible sources suggest that this name was derived from the name of a French person of the medieval era named Blancard. This name reached England after the Norman conquest of the country. Hence, the name is considered of Norman origin as well. One of the popular variants of this name found in England is Blanshard. Again, in German, it is considered that the name is a combination of blank, meaning ‘white’ or ‘shining’, and hard, meaning ‘brave’ or ‘strong’. It is believed in the folk culture that Blanchard might have been the nickname of someone who had white hair and a pure character. The earliest record of this name as a surname is traced back to the Blanchard family, who inhabited Lancashire. However, there are records of Blanchard occurring as the first name in France, particularly in the Saintonge region in 1665. Statistics suggest that currently, there are nearly 40,000 people bearing the name Blanchard. It is also listed in the top 100 baby names list.
