Blankers Coat of Arms

The surname Blankers, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back several centuries. The name is derived from the Gaelic word Bleancóir, meaning white-haired or fair-haired.

During the medieval period in Ireland, surnames were not commonly used. People were often identified by their given name and their father's name, such as John, son of Brian. However, as society evolved, the need for more precise identification arose, and surnames began to be adopted.

The surname Blankers likely originated as a nickname for someone with fair or white hair, as the Gaelic term suggests. Over time, individuals with this characteristic or their descendants would have inherited the surname Blankers.

It is important to note that Irish surnames can have variations and different spellings due to Anglicization, regional accents, and dialects. Therefore, it is possible to find variations of Blankers such as Blanckers or Blancoir, among others.

The Blankers family, like many others, would have been deeply affected by Ireland's turbulent history, including the Great Famine in the 19th century and subsequent emigration. Many Irish families sought better opportunities abroad, particularly in the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Today, descendants of the Blankers family can be found around the world, proudly carrying on their Irish heritage through their surname and familial traditions.
