Wendy

Wendy is a girl. She is very nice and caring but she’s very shy so she may not always help someone. She’s the opposite of confident and is a scaredy cat!

The name Wendy has an interesting etymological history. It was actually coined by the playwright J.M. Barrie in his famous play, “Peter Pan.” The character Wendy was borne from a nickname (“fwendy”) used for Barrie by a child acquaintance. “Fwendy” means, simply: friend. The second meaning of the name Wendy (“fair-skinned, blessed”) dates before Barrie and likely comes from a pet name for Gwendolyn. These elements come from the Gaelic words “gwyn” (holy, white) and “dolen” (ring). Gwendolyn is a popular Welsh name.
