Vonda is English in Origin.
Vonda is a modern English feminine name, most often viewed as a variant of Wanda/Vanda, the Polish-Slavic name associated with the legendary Princess Wanda and linked to the ethnonym “Wend” (a Slavic people), though its precise origin is debated. Some sources also treat Vonda as related to Yvonne, the French feminine of Yves, which derives from words for the yew tree and, by extension, archery.
The name rose in the United States during the mid-20th century and is now uncommon. Notable bearers include science-fiction author Vonda N. McIntyre and singer Vonda Shepard. Variant forms and relatives include Wanda, Vanda, Wonda, Vonna, and Yvonda, with cognates such as Yvonne, Ivonne, Ivona, and Yvette; common nicknames are Von and Vonnie. Depending on the chosen etymology, Vonda can signify “Wend/Slavic woman” or “yew; archer,” offering either a folk-ethnic or nature/skill-based meaning.
