Maronda is a feminine name with American English pronunciation pronounced as muh-RAHN-duh (/məˈrɑːndə/). It is also sometimes spelled as Maranda. The origin of the name Maronda is uncertain, but it is believed to have originated from the combination of two elements. The first element "mar" could be derived from various sources such as the Hebrew name "Mara," meaning bitter or sorrowful, or the Latin word "mare," meaning sea. The second element "onda" could be derived from Spanish or Italian, meaning wave. As a result, Maronda may be associated with meanings like "bitter wave" or "sorrowful sea." This unique and distinctive name has been sporadically used in the United States since at least the 1960s, with varying levels of popularity over the years.
