Twanda
Meaning of Twanda
Twanda is a female given name of modern American coinage, most likely conceived as a creative variant of Wanda—a name rooted in the Polish legend of Princess Wanda and the tribal name Wandal. Pronounced twahn-duh (/twɑnˈdə/), it adheres to a two-syllable structure with stress on the second syllable, in line with Anglo-American phonetic conventions. Florida birth records from 1961 to 1974 register between five and eleven occurrences annually—peaking at eleven births and a rank of 172 in 1970—demonstrating modest but consistent usage. Its technical sound profile and historical lineage provide parents with an analytically appealing option, balancing the desire for distinctiveness against cultural familiarity. Rigidly speaking, Twanda will not top national name charts, but its sub-200 ranking confers a certain statistical novelty.
