Blanton’s origins and meaning are mysterious, but this masculine name comes rich in charm. Blanton is a popular surname found throughout Britain and North America, likely a habitational name for a place in Cumberland, Scotland. Blanton may have been introduced to Scottish Gaelic with influence from the Norse Vikings. Blanton has since crossed the ocean to the US, where it is a place name in Georgia and Oklahoma, and the Blanton Museum of Art in Austin, Texas. A name that has traveled far and wide yet whose meaning is uncertain, Blanton is a delightfully mysterious and dashing choice.
