Vandalia is an uncommon and distinctive given name of Latin origin, derived from the Latin word "Vandalus," which refers to the Vandals, a tribe that played a significant role in European history during the late Roman Empire. The name was popularized by early settlers in Ohio who named their new town Vandalia, after this ancient tribe. While it may not be widely used today, Vandalia remains an intriguing and unique choice for parents looking for an unusual yet meaningful name for their daughter.
"Vandalia saw its peak of popularity in 1930 with five births that year."
