The Bland surname in historical dictionaries

Patronymica Britannica (1860)

BLAND. The adjective Hand, mild, gentle, is, I think, of insufficient antiquity to be the etymon. It is probably one of the many forms of Blundus, Blondus, Blond, &c., meaning fair or light-haired. TJie Blands of Kippax, at a very early period, resided at and gave name to Bland's Gill, CO. York.
