Wende is a girl’s name and a variant of the name Wendy. It could also be derived from the Germanic name Wendel, which means “a vandal.” The Vandals were an ancient Germanic tribe that settled in parts of Europe and North Africa back in the 5th and 6th centuries. Wende may also be related to Gwendolen, the name of a legendary queen of Britain in Welsh mythology with the meaning “white, fair, blessed” or “ring, bow.” If you’d like a name that’s connected with blessing, adventure, and beauty, Wende is a unique twist on the classic Wendy.
