"The name Weta was quite popular during the early 1920s with seven babies named Weta in 1920 alone. However, its popularity seemed to have declined by the mid-1920s, as only five babies were named Weta each year in both 1926 and 1927. In total, there were seventeen children named Weta between 1920 and 1927."
