The blanton Surname
blanton Name Meaning and History
English: unexplained; perhaps a habitational name from a lost or
unidentified place. It has been suggested that it might be an altered
form of Scottish Ballantine, but the distribution and variants
(including Blanding) make it more probable that it is an
altered form of a French original.
