I had heard of the name Esperancia and heard that it meant "hope" in French. I knew that it was similar to the Spanish "Esperanza", so I thought this was right. But, I checked and "hope" in French is "espoir". Does anyone know the meaning of Esperancia, where it comes from, and what language it is?

I'd assume it was related to Esperanza / Espoir and meant "hope" in some sort of Latin/Romance language. It might be from an actual word in one of these languages, or a given name contrived from 'hope' in these languages + a suffix somebody liked.
