Vonda Origin and Meaning

The name Vonda is a girl's name.

Vonda is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may derive from African languages, or possibly be a variant of the Germanic name Wanda, meaning "wanderer." The name gained modest popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1940s and 1950s. Vonda has a gentle, melodic sound with its soft consonants and open ending. Singer Vonda Shepard brought some attention to the name in the 1990s.
