History & Origin

Blondie began as a fond nickname drawn from blonde, meaning fair-haired, and was sometimes given as a first name in its own right. Its popular high came around 1957, helped along by the famous comic strip launched in 1930.

The name was never common, given to only a handful of girls a year, and it always kept a light, informal spirit. A girl named Blondie at that peak would be approaching seventy today. Between the comic strip and the later band, it carries a cheerful pop-culture glow.

Did you know? Blondie was made famous by the long-running comic strip that began in 1930, and later by the band fronted by Debbie Harry, both keeping this playful endearment in the public ear.
