Bledsoe

Bledsoe is an English surname with roots in the medieval period. It is believed to have originated from a village in Gloucestershire called Bledisloe. The name is a combination of the Old English words “blide,” meaning happy, and “sloe,” referring to the fruit-bearing tree. Over time, the name has evolved to include various spellings, including Bledso, Bledsaw, and Bledshaw. Today, the name is relatively rare, but can still be found in the United States and England.
