Meaning & History
Of uncertain origin and meaning. Some academics consider Bleuzenn a Breton cognate of either Welsh BLODEUYN or Welsh BLODWEN while others consider this name a derivation from Middle Breton bleuzuenn "flower". Due to this latter theory, Bleuzenn is occasionally claimed to be the Breton form of FLORA. Either way, Saint Bleuzenn is the Breton patron saint of flowers.
