Blond means fair or light yellow in hair colour. Blond hair, a blond boy, dyed blond.
English borrowed the French gender endings with it: blond for a man and blonde for a woman, which is one of very few adjectives in English that changes for gender — and the distinction is fading. Blond hair is commonest in northern Europe. Note that blonde as a noun for a woman is now often avoided.

Borrowed from Middle French blond, from Old French blond, blont, blund, (> blondus), from Frankish blund (“a mixed color between golden and light-brown”), from Proto-Germanic blundaz (“mixed, blinding”), from Proto-Indo-European bʰlendʰ- (“to become turbid, see badly, go blind”). Compare Old English blondenfeax (“grey-haired”), Old English blandan (“to mix”). See more at blend. An alternative etymology connects Frankish blund to Proto-Germanic blundaz (“blond”), from Proto-Indo-European bʰl̥ndʰ-, bʰlendʰ- (“blond, red-haired”). If so, then it would be cognate with Sanskrit ब्रध्न (“ruddy, pale red, yellowish”).
