Branca Meaning

Portuguese and Galician form of Blanche. Branca is a Portuguese variant of Blanche. Blanche originates in Germanic languages and means "the white one". Some sources suggest the name might have become popular due to its connotation of a skin white as milk, which was considered a mark of female beauty in medieval times. Possibly due to that, Blanche was a popular name within royalty for many centuries.
