Origin and meaning of Wanda
Wanda is a name of Slavic origin, tied to the legendary Polish princess Wanda, daughter of Kraków's mythical founder, and sometimes traced to the Slavic Wends. It carries a proud, noble aura. Deeply traditional in Poland, it is also found in Italy, Germany and the English-speaking world. With its short, decisive sound — a touch retro but full of character — it evokes strength and independence: an original choice that keeps a distinctly Central-European charm.
