The word "blurb" is not an abbreviation, or short form, of another word. It was first used in 1914 by G. Burgess to mean "A flamboyant advertisement; an inspired testimonial." Though "blurb" is an American slang term, it does not come from a longer word.

Why is the blurb called a blurb?
it started in the early 1900's when a fictitious lady called Miss Belinda Blurb was shown 'in the act of Blurbing'. In order to promote a book, the publishers printed a resume on the dust jacket and Miss Belinda Blurb was used to voice the words of the resume. After a while, Miss Blurb was 'dropped' and just the resume remained, as it does to this day.
