There are various theories on the origin of this name. Some say that it is English in origin. It is suggested to be either a variant of "Blenkinsopp", a place in Northumberland with obscure etymology or "Blenecarn", a place in Cumbria, the name meaning "hill with a Cairn".
The other theory is that it is German or Danish in origin; an occupational family name given to those who laid planking on bridges and ships.
