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.

Alternatively, it could be connected to the Luganda name Wanda.

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.
