Meaning:

Variation of the Blount. The fair or light-complexioned man.

A variant of Blount. French blond, fair-haired, light-complexioneil. The great baronial house of Blount, lords Mountjoy, deduced themselves from William, son of Blound, earl of Guisnes, one of the companions of the Conqueror, who was traditionally derived from the Biondi of Italy and the Flavii of classical Rome! It is probable that there are several families so designated from the personal peculiarity of the original assumers, without any consanguinity. It has taken various forms; as for example in the Hundred Rolls le Blond, le Blont, Blunt, le Blunte, le Blound, etc. It may be regarded as the Anglo-Norman synonym of our indigenous White; and some of the Irish Blunts have in recent times translated it into White. The Norwegian royal surname, Harfager, means 'fair -haired,' and in thó Hundred Rolls we have a Flaxennehed.
