Bianka
Bianka Origin and Meaning
Bianka is a feminine name representing an Eastern European spelling variation of Bianca. The name ultimately derives from the Italian word 'bianca' meaning 'white' or 'pure.' This spelling with 'k' instead of 'c' is particularly common in Hungarian, Polish, Slovak, and some other Slavic languages. Bianka carries the same associations of purity, innocence, and brightness as Bianca while offering a distinctive spelling that reflects Eastern European naming traditions. The name has moderate popularity in countries like Hungary and Poland but remains less common in Western countries. Bianka offers a slightly exotic alternative to the more familiar Bianca while maintaining the same elegant, feminine quality. Notable bearers include Hungarian handball player Bianka Pap and Polish actress Bianka Cwiklinska.
