History & Origin

Avianca most plausibly elaborates Bianca, the Italian name for 'white', with a flowing Avi- opening in the manner of Vianca and Ayanna. Its spelling also matches the Colombian airline Avianca, which we mention neutrally rather than as a source. The name is chosen for sound; its own meaning stays soft.

Avianca was never common in the United States, appearing around 1990 and given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak before fading. A girl named Avianca then is in her thirties today.

Did you know? The same word is the name of a major Colombian airline, so the name carries an incidental brand echo alongside its likely tie to Bianca.
