Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward composition of 'blond' (having pale, light-colored hair) and 'person' (a human), so the meaning 'a person with light-colored hair' is directly derivable from the constituents. This adjective+noun pattern is morphologically regular and common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
The noun blond person comes from a word for pale yellow hair, so imagine blond hair like pale gold or ripe wheat. That's why it means 'a person with light-colored hair and fair skin'.
