Origins of surname

This is a name found in the Normandy departments of Manche and Calvados. The literal translations suggests a man 'white with love', and this is the derivation given by some well established French sources.

However, an alternative suggestion is that the bland element does not come from blanc = 'white' but from the old French blandir = 'to caress, or flatter'. There is a hamlet in Manche called Blandamour à Néhou

Early records

The first appearance of this surname in Jersey records was baptism of Pierre Alexandre Blandamour in St Helier in 1846. He was the son of Pierre and Alexandrine Felicite, nee Beslievre.

The Blandamours shown in the tree below came to the island from the small town of Bricquebec on the west side of the Cotentin Peninsular in Normandy, just across the water from Jersey. It has not so far proved possible to link the head of the tree to the extensive Blandamour family in Briquebec
