Wendie is a name of English origin, derived from the Old English personal name 'Wendel', which means 'winding path'. It is often spelled as Wendy but can also appear as Wendie or Wendey. This name has gained popularity over time, especially after it was used for the character Wendy Darling in J.M. Barrie's classic novel "Peter Pan".
"Wendie as a given name had its peak popularity between 1942 and 1951, with 17 to 66 births per year. However, it started declining in the late 1950s and early 1960s, reaching low points of single-digit births from 1984 onwards. In total, over two thousand children named Wendie were born between 1938 and 2010."
