Lawanda Origin and Meaning

The name Lawanda is a girl's name.

Lawanda is a feminine name that appears to have emerged in the United States during the mid-20th century. The name may be a creative combination of the prefix 'La-' (a popular naming element adding rhythm and distinction) with 'Wanda,' which derives from Germanic elements meaning 'wanderer' or 'to wind.' Alternatively, it could be connected to the Luganda name Wanda. Lawanda saw its peak popularity in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s but has been used consistently throughout the latter half of the 20th century. The name has a melodic, three-syllable flow with emphasis typically placed on the middle syllable. Lawanda offers a distinctive choice while maintaining connections to traditional naming elements. The name's balanced sound combines softness with strength through its consonant and vowel pattern.
