Meranda is a feminine given name of Latin origin, derived from the word 'mirandam', meaning 'wonderful'. It was likely created as a variant spelling of Miranda, which has been in use since medieval times. The name gained popularity during the 20th century and has continued to be used with moderate frequency.
The name Meranda experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the past six decades. From a low of just 7 births in 1957, it peaked dramatically in 1994 with 186 births, indicating a notable increase in usage around that time. However, from the late 1990s onwards, there was a steady decline, reaching an all-time low of 10 births in both 2010 and 2013. Overall, Meranda has been given to 2901 newborn girls over these years.
