In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Blessy is a modern name from Kerala, used mostly for girls in Christian families, and families take it to mean 'blessed'. It is not in any dictionary, but it clearly echoes the English verb bless, which Webster's dictionary of 1913 defines as 'to make holy' and 'to grant divine favour to'. Like Bincy and Ancy, it follows the Malayali fashion for short English-sounding names ending in -y. The best-known bearer is a man: Blessy Ipe Thomas, the Malayalam film director of Kaazhcha and Aadujeevitham.
