Noble surnames, such as Bleau, evoke images of the ancient homeland of the French people. The original bearer of the name Bleau, which is a local surname, once lived, held land, or was born in the beautiful region of Burgoigne. In France, hereditary surnames were adopted according to fairly general rules and during the late Middle Ages, names that were derived from localities became increasingly widespread. Local names originally denoted the proprietorship of the village or estate. The Bleau family originally derived its name from the name of the town of Ble, which was in Burgoigne.
The surname Bleau was first found in Burgundy (French: Bourgogne), an administrative and historical region of east-central France, where the family has held a family seat since very early times.
