To confer well-being or divine favor
Derived from the Old English word 'blēdsian', which originally meant to mark with blood for consecration. In a modern context, it is used as a virtue name signifying divine favor, protection, and gratitude. It is part of a contemporary trend of using spiritual and aspirational verbs as names.
