"Bianca" appears in this board's name listing as an Italian equivalent of the French "Blanche" (a much uglier name, IMHO), meaning "white, fair, shining". The direct Spanish equivalent would be "Blanca", but Bianca is certainly used in Latino societies.Years ago I worked with a woman named Bianca, and our boss, who could murder any language you could toss at him, insisted on referring to her as "Binaca" (a breath spray then, which may still be around). Jerk.
