Depends which bluff you mean. Bluff as a steep promontory or a steep bank comes from an early Dutch word 'Blaf' meaning 'broad'

.

Bluff as a Poker term is early American English, taken from another Dutch word, 'Bluffen' meaning to 'brag or boast'. Another Dutch word 'verbluffen' meaning to 'baffle or mislead' is also applicable.
