Bledsoe

The surname Bledsoe has its origins in England, specifically in the county of Gloucestershire. It is believed to have derived from the Old English words “bleods,” meaning blood, and “saw,” meaning hill. This suggests that the name may have originally referred to someone who lived near a hill with bloody or violent associations. Today, Bledsoe is a relatively uncommon surname, with a small number of notable individuals bearing the name, including former NFL quarterback Drew Bledsoe.
