What is the meaning of the name Blondell ?

The baby name Blondell is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced BLON-del (IPA: /blɒnˈdɛl/).

Blondell is English in Origin.

Blondell is an English given name and surname derived from Old French Blondel, a diminutive of blond, "fair, light-haired." The -el/-ell ending conveys "little" or "dear," so the sense is "little fair one." It entered English through Anglo-Norman usage and is long attested as a family name; the medieval trouvere Blondel de Nesle helped fix the form in legend and literature, linking the name with courtly song and the Richard the Lionheart cycle.

Used as a given name largely in the United States from the early 1900s, Blondell has been applied to both genders but leans feminine. Its visibility rose mid-century, influenced by the Hollywood presence of Joan Blondell, and it has since become rare, reading as a vintage, surname-style choice. Variants and related forms include Blondel, Blondelle, Blondella; nicknames may include Dell or Blondie; meaning-related choices include Blanche and Fair.
