Blossom is a girl’s name of English origin, meaning: “flowers on a fruit tree.” It comes from the Old English word “blostm,” which means “flower” or “bloom.” The name Blossom was popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the United States, where it was often used as a nickname or given name for girls born in the springtime. It was also sometimes used as a surname. Some famous people with the given name Blossom include Blossom Dearie, an American jazz singer and pianist, and Blossom Rock, an American actress best known for her role as Grandmama Addams on the television show “The Addams Family.” In recent years, the name Blossom has become less common as a given name, but it is still used by some parents who appreciate its connection to nature and the beauty of springtime.
