Blais is a variation of the Blèse, from Bléser, which in English means Lisp, as to talk with a lisp. Names originally based on attributes of individuals such as how one looks or how one speaks is common in the French language. A source for this information is from the Larousse « Dictionnaire étymologique des noms de famille » by Albert Dauzat, 1993.
