blancas

Blancas is the feminine plural form of the Spanish adjective blanco, meaning "white." In general use, it appears in color descriptions and in a variety of proper nouns. As a toponym or part of a place name, Blancas or Las Blancas occurs in several Spanish-speaking countries, typically referring to a geographic feature associated with whiteness, such as light-colored buildings, rock formations, or landscapes. The term is also found as a surname or as a component of compound names in geographic or administrative contexts.

Etymology: Blancas is derived from blanco, which itself comes from Latin blancus, via Old Spanish. In many Romance languages, cognates exist, such as French blanc.

In modern usage, the word is encountered in literature, media, and everyday Spanish as an adjective agreeing with feminine plural nouns (for example, paredes blancas, playas blancas) and in the names of places or families. It is not a standalone ethnonym or demonym.
