Glynda is a feminine name that emerged as a variant of Glenda, which itself originated as a Welsh name derived from the elements 'glan' meaning 'clean' or 'pure' and 'da' meaning 'good.' The spelling with a 'y' gives it a slightly more whimsical quality. The name gained some recognition through the character Glinda the Good Witch in L. Frank Baum's 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' (though with a different spelling). Glynda saw modest popularity in the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, but remains relatively uncommon today. The name evokes qualities of kindness and goodness, carrying a gentle, magical quality that connects to its literary association.
