Avianca

This name first occurred in the United States Social Security Administration's public name dataset in 1990, when it was given to 18 girls born in the U.S., following the widespread media coverage of the Avianca Flight 203 bombing on November 27, 1989. The name of the Colombian airline Avianca is said to be an acronym of Spanish Aerovías del Continente Americano meaning "Airways of the American Continent". Its use as a given name is probably due to its similarity to other names like Bianca and Aviana.

A known bearer is South African-born former beauty pageant titleholder Avianca Böhm (1990-), who was crowned Miss Universe New Zealand 2012 but was stripped of her crown because she did not hold New Zealand citizenship.
