Branka () is a Serbo-Croatian female given name derived from the Slavic root bran – the same as in Branislav and Branimir – with the meaning "to defend or protect". It can also be a version of the Portuguese name Branca meaning "white" (Casablanca was originally called Casabranca). The name Branka became popular in the territory of former Yugoslavia some hundred years ago.
