Meaning: (White, Pure, Fair, Originally
a nickname for a blonde, “blanc”. It became associated with whiteness as in
purity, and beauty. From a medieval French nickname meaning “White, Fair”. This
name and its cognates in other languages are ultimately derived from the
Germanic word Blanc. An early bearer was the 12th Century Blanca of Navarre, the wife of Sancho III of Castile. Her
granddaughter of the same name married Louis VIII of France,
with the result that the name became more common in France. It was introduced into England as a given name by the Normans. Blanche DuBois is a character in
Tennessee William’s “A Streetcar Named Desire”.)

They brought the show Golden Girls
back on TV and I have started watching it again because I remember loving that
show years ago. One of the ladies is named Blanche. I never really cared for the
name but after hearing it again and again it has grown on me and I love the
meanings.
