Vonda

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. While never reaching mainstream popularity, Vonda maintains a vintage charm with a slightly exotic quality that appeals to parents seeking something uncommon yet accessible and melodic for their daughters.

Vonda is also given to boys.

Pronounced VON-dah.

As of October 2026, Vonda ranked #4516 in US births in 1966 SSA, peaked at #4022 in 1964.
