Wendie — girls' name

What the Data Says About Wendie

The Social Security Administration has registered 2,200 babies named Wendie between 1938 and 2010, spanning 73 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Wendie currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2010. The name reached its historical peak in 1970, when 89 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Wendie performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 607 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Wendie shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 279 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Wendie in 12 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Wendie in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 2,200 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
