Wandah
Wandah Origin and Meaning
Wandah is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of Wanda, which has Slavic origins meaning 'wanderer' or 'shepherdess.' According to Polish legend, Princess Wanda was a daughter of King Krakus (the founder of Kraków) who sacrificed herself for her country's independence. The 'Wandah' spelling variation adds a distinctive touch while maintaining the original pronunciation. This name enjoyed modest popularity in the United States during the early to mid-20th century, with the alternate spelling emerging as a way to personalize the traditional name. While less common today, Wandah carries a vintage charm that connects to both Slavic heritage and mid-century American naming traditions, appealing to parents drawn to names with both historical substance and unique spelling.
