English (Dorset): possibly a variant of the habitational name Balsdon, which is most probably from Great Boulsdon in Newent (Gloucestershire), Balstone in Buckland Monachorum, or Bulstone in Branscombe (both Devon). Alternatively, it may be derived from a Middle English personal name derived from an unattested Old English personal name formed with beald ‘bold’ + stān ‘stone’). Compare Bolson and Balsam .
