In Latin America, both Blancanieves and the two-word version Blanca Nieves are widely used and understood.

/blankaˈnjebes/

In some Spanish dialects, the term blanco can be used to describe a target in shooting or archery, creating a linguistic contrast with the purity of Blancanieves.
In Spanish, the word blanca is also used in the expression dar carta blanca, which means to give someone full authority or a 'blank check' to act.
The word nieves in the name is an archaic or poetic way of referring to different types or instances of snow, rather than just the substance.
