Seen only once - BLADE
I am sure that I saw my son's name - BLADE - once -
and that it was an old English name meaning "prosperous". I have never been
able to find it again. Can someone help me out with both the origin
and meaning. thanks!!

As any trusty ol' dictionary will state, Blade is an expression denoting, inter alia, the cutting part of an instrument, the leaf of a plant, the scapula, and a dashing and/or adventuresome and/or gay fellow.
The word's etymology draws from the old English “blæd” (meaning leaf) which in turn was borrowed from the Latin “folium” and the Greek “phyllon”.
