Bianca: meaning and origin
Bianca is the Italian cognate of Blanche, says Behind the Name, and means “white”. Blanche began as a medieval French nickname meaning “white, fair-colored”, from the Germanic word blankaz. Wikipedia adds that the name came to wider notice in the 1970s, thanks to public figures such as Bianca Jagger.
Nicknames and variants
Behind the Name links Bianca to a family across Europe: Blanche in English and French, Blanca in Spanish and Catalan, Bianka in German and Polish, and Blanka in Czech and Hungarian.
Famous people named Bianca
Tennis player Bianca Andreescu was born in Mississauga, Ontario, in 2000, to parents who had emigrated from Romania. Wikipedia says her breakout year was 2019, when she won Indian Wells, the Canadian Open and the US Open, beating Serena Williams in both of the last two finals. She became the first Canadian, male or female, to win a major singles title.
Is Bianca a popular name?
Bianca peaked around the turn of the millennium. US Social Security data has it at 113th in the 1990s, when more than 28,500 American girls were named Bianca, and 180th in the 2000s. In all, more than 47,000 girls got the name over those two decades.
Bianca trivia
Shakespeare used the name twice. Behind the Name says there is a Bianca in The Taming of the Shrew (1593) and another in Othello (1603). In Europe the name got a later boost from a 1973 hit: the German singer Freddy Breck’s song “Bianca”. And Blanche, its French twin, spread in France after Blanca of Navarre’s granddaughter married Louis VIII.
