Origin and meaning of Bianca
Bianca derives from the old Germanic blank, 'white, shining', Italianised into the adjective bianca: it evokes purity, candour and light. The name flourished in the Italian Renaissance and was taken up by Shakespeare in several plays, spreading it to the English-speaking world. It corresponds to the Spanish Blanca and French Blanche. In Italy it keeps a timeless, poetic charm, chosen for its vivid imagery and clean elegance.
