Names That Mean Wren

Love the name wren but need something not quite so trendy? Consider Jedda. Jedda is derived from the word 'djida' meaning "wren"  in the language of the Noongar people of Western Australia. Jedda was also the name of the eponymous heroine of the film "Jedda", which was one of the first Australian films to be shot in color and was the first to be shown at the Cannes Film Festival (it was nominated for the Palme d'Or). The perfect name for nature enthusiasts and film buffs alike.

Jedda

The Old English word for a male wren has now become an elaboration of the bird name for girls. Rising up alongside Wrenley, Renli, Wrenn, Wrenlynn, and so on, in the US, Wrenna was given to 67 girls in a recent year — double the number it was chosen for the year prior. This number could rise, not only because Wren names are in vogue, but because Wrenna may feel more grounded, owing to its similarity to Jenna, Rowena, and Olenna.

The name is notably borne by an up-and-coming Welsh singer, known mononymously as Wrenna and by artist Wrenna Monet.
