First name Blake is of Italian and English Origin. In Italian it means White;fair and in Old English it means Fair-haired.

Apparently it comes from the old name 'Ap Lake' who was one of King Arthur's knights. They moved to Ireland and during the famine alto of the Blake family moved to America and a lot to England. There are also links with the name Caddell. I wish I knew more. My surname's Blake too!
