History & Origin

Blanchie is the affectionate diminutive of Blanche, from Old French blanc, 'white' or 'fair', long associated with brightness and purity. Families of a century ago frequently registered such warm short forms as full legal names.

It was a small, mostly Southern choice that peaked in the mid nineteen-twenties and faded to rarity by mid-century; it reads now as a great-grandmother's name and has not returned with the vintage-nickname revival.

Did you know? Blanchie shows how the early 1900s turned formal names into cozy -ie forms on the birth certificate; it crested around 1925 at only a few dozen girls a year.
