History & Origin

Byanca appears in United States records from the late 1970s as a sounded-out spelling of Bianca. Bianca, the Italian bianca, 'white, fair,' was popularized through Shakespeare and opera; Byanca keeps that meaning under a phonetic form used in English- and Spanish-speaking homes.

It was never common in this spelling, reaching only a couple dozen girls a year around its 1990 high while standard Bianca was better known. A Byanca from that time is in her mid-thirties now.

Did you know? Byanca is Bianca spelled the way it sounds, the Italian word for 'white' and cousin of the French Blanche.
