Origin: Slavic

Meaning: Wanderer; A Wend

As English author J.R.R. Tolkien writes in his classic novel The Fellowship of the Ring, not all who wander are lost. In fact, with a name like Wannda, your baby might just catch the travel bug! This feminine name is a variant spelling of the German Wanda, meaning “wanderer.” It may also be a Germanic title meaning “a Wend,” referring to the Slavic people who lived in Eastern Germany. Elsewhere in Europe, Polish legends reference Wanda as the daughter of Krakow founder, King Krak. Whether Wannda’s travels take them through these different regions or other areas around the world, they’re sure to explore each new place with a certain sense of wonder.
