Paddle: paddle size

What does paddle size actually mean? From tip to tip or what? How about blade size...I've seen length mentioned, but nothing specific about blade width (or length of blade).

Secondly, I've seen skinny paddles and fat paddles. Personal preference or is there a reason for each type?
