Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Wendy je meno z anglického jazykového prostredia, ktoré spopularizovala hra Peter Pan (1904) od J. M. Barrieho. Meno literárnej postavy sa vysvetľuje detskou podobou fwendy, odvodenou od anglického friend – priateľ. Keďže meno existovalo ojedinele už pred uvedením hry, nemožno Barrieho bezpečne označiť za jeho prvého tvorcu. Pôvod starších výskytov zostáva neistý; spojenie s waleským Gwendolen je iba možným výkladom.
