Blanch is a distinctive given name of French origin, meaning "white" or "fair". It was historically more prevalent during the Middle Ages but has since become less common, adding to its unique character. The name Blanch is derived from the Old French word 'blanc', which also gives rise to the English word 'blank'. Despite its diminishment in usage over time, it retains a certain charm and elegance, perhaps due to its association with purity and simplicity.
"Blanch saw its peak popularity in 1921 with eight births that year."
