Etymology
Found in Medieval Latin, of unknown origin, though usually considered Germanic. A hypothetical Proto-Germanic *blundaz (perhaps meaning “mixed, variegated > colorful, ruddy, blond”) could be derived from Proto-Indo-European *bʰlendʰ- (“to become turbid, go blind”) or, as Watkins suggests, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰel- (“to shine”). However, as no such word is attested in any Germanic language (English blond, German blond, etc. all being borrowings from Old French), the Germanic theory mainly rests on comparison to Sanskrit ब्रध्न (bradhna, “yellowish, ruddy”) and the lack of another plausible derivation.
