I always just assumed that it meant "Woman from Valencia".
V in Spain (and most of the Spanish-speaking world) sounds like B. This is why they say "B de burro o V de vaca?" B like Burro (donkey) or V like Vaca (cow)?
So I just assumed it was "Balenciaga" leveraging the Spanish accent to substitute B for V.
Guys, none of those are Latin words. No idea why google would do that tho.
