Bland Family History
Bland Name Meaning
English: habitational name from a place in West Yorkshire
called Bland, the origin of which is uncertain. Possibly it is from
Old English (ge)bland ‘storm’, ‘commotion’ (from blandan
‘to blend or mingle’), with reference to its exposed situation. The
modern English adjective bland did not come into English (from
Latin) until the 15th century, and is therefore unlikely to have given
rise to surnames.French: nickname from Old French blant
‘flattering’ (Latin blandus).
