There may be a history and there may be a literal translation, but in everyday usage = cordon bleu means that it contains ham and cheese, just as Florentine means that it contains spinach, and a club sandwich must contain bacon

It means "blue ribbon."
The coveted prize for a food item is a "blue ribbon."
So like "Chicken Cordon Bleu" is "Blue Ribbon Chicken" aka "Award-Winning, Very Good Chicken."
