A Polish person would claim this name to be Polish. But actually in my native language which is Lithuanian, Vanda was a goddess of water - vanduo. Not many people know this. English dictionaries usually point out that this name could be of Slavic origin. It is not true as Lithuanian is a Baltic language.
