History and Origin
Gwenda is a feminine given name of Welsh origin. It was apparently coined in the 20th century using the Welsh adjectives gwen "white, fair, blessed" and da "good" (though this combination should become *Gwendda under the soft mutation in Welsh), and may also be used as a shortened form of the more common name Gwendolen or a feminine form of Gwyndaf, the name of a Welsh saint.
The name was "regularly used until the 1960s, now rare." Notable bearers include:
- Gwenda Halliday, fictional character in the Agatha Christie novel Sleeping Murder (1976)
- Gwenda Hawkes (1894–1990), English racing driver
- Gwenda Owen (born 1965), Welsh singer
- Gwenda Thomas (born 1942), Welsh politician
Welsh and English: of modern origin, composed of the vocabulary words gwen white, fair, blessed, holy (see Gwen) + da good.
