I was working on a theme and i faced that problem , i wanted to get dynamically the category link using category names and there’s no function in wordpress to do that , so i’ve wrote a simple function that does what i need .
I’ve used get_cat_ID function to get category id using name , then get_category_link function to get category link using category id , very simple .

function get_category_link_byname($name) {
	$id = get_cat_ID($name);
	$link = get_category_link( $id );
	echo $link;
}

use this function as follows ,

and that’s it , hope you find it useful .
