Bledsoe

Bledsoe is an English surname that originated from the Old English words “blæd” meaning “cultivated land” and “sā” meaning “sea”. The name is mostly found in the United States, particularly in the southeastern region. Famous Bledsoes include retired NFL quarterback Drew Bledsoe and country music singer Hieronymus Bledsoe. Despite its English origin, the surname has also been adopted by African-American families, with some tracing their roots back to the Bledsoe plantation in Virginia.
