Blanka is in Origin.
Blanka is the Central and Eastern European form of the name meaning "white, fair, bright," ultimately from Old French blanc/blanche, borrowed from a Frankish (Germanic) root blank "shining, white"; via Medieval Latin blancus. Used in Czech, Slovak, Polish, Hungarian, Croatian, Slovene, and occasionally Scandinavian contexts.
Medieval bearers traveled across courts, spreading cognates: Blanka z Valois (Blanche of Valois), queen of Bohemia; Blanka (Blanche) of Namur, queen of Sweden and Norway; and numerous French and Iberian Blanches/Blancas. The -k- spelling gained steady use in the 19th–20th centuries in Slavic and Hungarian naming, and remains fashionable in Central Europe (e.g., athlete Blanka Vlašić). Variants include Blanca (Spanish, Catalan), Bianca (Italian; also used in English), Blanche (French, historical English), and Branca (Portuguese); related masculine/surnominal forms are Blanco/Blanc/Bianco. Nicknames vary by language (e.g., Blani/Blanki).
