Bianca
Girl name · 210 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Bianca: 210 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 11 births in 1989.
With Italian origins from the Latin *blancus* meaning “white,” Bianca shares its root with the French Blanche and has been a steady presence on Scottish baby-name charts since the 1970s. The name is carried by Bianca Jagger, the Nicaraguan-born human-rights activist and former wife of Mick Jagger, and by Canadian tennis star Bianca Andreescu, who won the US Open in 2019. Shakespeare gave the name to a key character in *Othello*, where Bianca is a Venetian courtesan caught in the tragedy’s web. While no major place bears the name directly, the root appears in many European place names like Blanc and Bianco. As a variant of Blanche, Bianca offers an international, melodic alternative that remains both classic and fresh.
