Jomanda is a unique and captivating female given name of African origin, particularly from Nigeria. It's composed of two elements: 'Jo', which may derive from the Yoruba name Josephine, meaning 'Jehovah increases', and 'Manda', thought to be a variant of the Igbo name Mbanu, translating to 'Be strong'. Thus, Jomanda could symbolize 'Strength through God's favor'. This name is relatively uncommon, lending it an exclusive charm. It rolls off the tongue smoothly with its three syllables, /ˈʒoʊmæn-də/, and its phonetics offer a pleasant rhythm. Jomanda bearers might appreciate this name for its distinctive sound and cultural roots.
The name Jomanda experienced varying popularity between 1991 and 1994, with the highest number of births in 1993 at 10, and the lowest in 1992 at 5. Across these four years, a total of 27 children were named Jomanda.
