Glennda Origin and Meaning

The name Glennda is a girl's name.

Glennda is a feminine variation of the masculine name Glenn, which has Scottish and Irish Gaelic origins meaning 'valley.' The added 'a' feminizes the traditionally male name, while the double 'n' spelling adds a distinctive touch. This name was most popular in the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, but remains relatively uncommon. Glennda carries the natural, earthy associations of its root name while maintaining a feminine identity. It might appeal to parents seeking a name with Celtic heritage that isn't overly common. Glennda offers the friendly nickname Glenny, and its connection to natural landscapes gives it an enduring, grounded quality while maintaining feminine elegance.
