Okay, I just could not resist this one.....
When I read this question, I immediately thought of
Blanche Devereaux, Rue McClanahan's character on "The Golden Girls" on television... The other characters are:
Beatrice Arthur = played Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak
Betty White = played Rose Nylund
Estelle Getty = played Sophia Petrillo
It was one of my favorite sitcoms in its day, and I still watch it periodically when it comes on in reruns...
(Be kind to me with the thumbs down. Like I said, I just could not resist... *lol*)

It became common in the last medieval centuries in the Western European cultural sphere. Apparently the name, possibly invented at that time, received a boost when king Garcia VI of Navarre and his French-born wife Marguerite de L'Aigle named one of their daughters Blanca. Many of their descendants, who rapidly spread to royal families all around Western Europe, named one of daughters Blanche.
There have been several persons named "Blanche" or "Blanca":

It means "white" and as a name, probably means "clean," which is next to Godliness.
