Origin & history of Blanch1
French / Germanic roots
Blanch is a simplified spelling of Blanche, from the Old French blanc meaning white or fair — ultimately from the Germanic blank meaning bright. The name has been used in royal European tradition since the Middle Ages, including Blanche of Castile, the thirteenth-century queen of France. The Blanch spelling, without the final -e, was particularly common in the early twentieth-century United States, peaking in 1924. It carries the same fair, luminous meaning as Blanche in a slightly streamlined form.
