People who bruise easily suffer from a condition called purpura. This is the medical term for bleeding in the skin.
A bruise is caused by the rupture or breakage of blood vessels which results in skin discoloration, more commonly known as a bruise.

Haemophilia or hemophilia is the name of several hereditary genetic illnesses that impair the body's ability to control bleeding. Genetic deficiencies and a rare autoimmune disorder may cause lowered plasma clotting factor activity so as to compromise blood-clotting; when a blood vessel is injured, a scab does not form and the vessel continues to bleed for an excessive period of time. The bleeding can be external, if the skin is broken by a scrape, cut or abrasion, or it can be internal, into muscles, joints or hollow organs. The result may be visible (e.g., skin bruises.)

hemophyllia is used if the bruising is severe and for no apparent reason, and is usually fatal before reaching maturity.
Otherwise, some people just bruise easily and there is no hard and fast medical terminology to refer to this.

I'm not sure but the bruising could be from a lack of iron.

A body lacking in the vitamin C is prone to being easily bruised and much slower in its ability to bring about recovery in the affected region of skin. Vitamin C and bioflavonoids work together within the body and exist in nature within the same types of food. Supplements of the vitamin C formula must therefore always include bioflavonoid to bring about the maximum benefit to the person. Healing and recovery from bruises is also accomplished by the vitamin E, this vitamin is also responsible for bolstering the body and prevents easy bruising in the human skin. The antioxidant action of both the vitamins C and E, in addition prevents free-radical damage to the tissues on the site of injury and increase the rate of cell and tissue reconstruction. The healing in the site of the bruise is also accelerated by another supplemental compound called bromelain - this can also be taken as a supplemental measure against bruising. When the human skin gets damaged, the underlying soft tissue turns red or black-and-blue and the resulting discoloration in the skin is called a bruise - bruising is the term applied to any damage suffered by the skin which leads to some change in the color of the skin. Bruises often change in color largely dependant on the depth of the bruise, thus the color of the bruise may change from yellow to green. This change in coloration occurs because of chemical decomposition in the affected area of the skin. The change is thus a result of the removal of dead cells and the replacement of the tissues by the body itself. The time taken for the affected area of the skin will depend on the severity of the bruise and the type of blow or impact that caused the injury. Full recovery from a bruise may therefore take from days to weeks, with various factors such as depth of injury dictating the rate of healing in the tissue. The breakage in blood vessels and the subsequent leakage of blood into the skin cause the actual discoloration of tissues at the site of the bruise. Thus deep and true bruises can be the result of sprains, serious falls or broken bones, while superficial bruising can come about because of bumps, pinches or suction on the surface of the skin. Certain individuals have a greater susceptibility to developing bruises on their bodies following an injury. The presence of disorders like anemia and obesity in the individual increases the chances of bruises occurring after injury. Additionally, an easily bruised skin can indicate brittleness in the walls of the blood vessels or some deficiency in the blood-clotting factors of the individual. The presence of a serious disorder like leukemia is possible if the person develops bruises on the surface of the skin without good cause suddenly. Bruises are also much more likely to occur in individual if the blood-platelet levels are low as a result of using some blood-thinning medications - anticoagulants to treat other unrelated disorders. Bruises also occur in some individuals without any apparent cause and in hemophiliacs, bruising may occur in the soft tissues surrounding the joints quite suddenly without external causes due to internal hemorrhages. An individual lacking in essential nutrients like the vitamin C and bioflavonoids is also likely to suffer from brittle blood vessels and he or she will be very prone to developing bruises even from minor injuries. To ensure that the body receives adequate amounts of the blood-clotting agent vitamin K, make sure that the diet contains abundant quantities of dark green and leafy vegetables, including alfalfa sprouts. Another essential mineral iron is also found in abundant quantities in such foods and this mineral is very important for its ability in combating anemia, which is probably a very important factor in the formation of bruises in some cases. The body builds up strong capillaries utilizing vitamin K and vitamin C along with bioflavonoids-citrus fruits are very rich in these compounds and diets must include abundant quantities of these fruits. Another nutrient important in the clotting of blood is the vitamin D, this vitamin is manufactured on the skin with the aid of sunlight, and a good food source of this vitamin is through the consumption of fatty fishes such as the mackerel and salmon. ** Check the source page for appropriate/suitable remedies **
