See, you're very wrong in what the origin is, and by extension on what it means, though not too much either. In reality, it is known that Blake is most likely from Old English, at the oldest from Old Norse, but the exact origin is unknown.

For example, some say it is derived from "Blac", meaning Pale/Shining/White (hair or skin). Some say it's derived from "Blæc", which does truly mean Black (and Ink) (hair or skin).

In terms of Old Norse origins there are multiple words that both sound like either Blac or Blæc and have the same or similar meanings.

That said, this is not common knowledge, instead that would be "Blake = Black". Miles, Kerry and Monty are not geniuses who do a lot of research, especially Monty, and just looking at Blake, it's clear what they were going for when they named her that.

Though it is a bit funny that Blake does have both raven hair and ivory skin.
