Wendy is a female name. Its popularity is attributed to the character Wendy Darling from the children's play and novel "Peter Pan" by J.M. Barrie. The character Wendy was inspired by a real girl. Barrie befriended young Margaret Emma Henley, daughter of Barrie's friend W.E. Henley. Margaret reportedly used to call him 'my fwiendy-wendy', unable to pronounce R's. Margaret, born September 4th 1888, died at the age of five on February 11, 1894 but was immortalized forever in Barrie's work. Although the name 'Wendy' appears as a boy's name in the 1881 census of England, Barrie is usually credited with its invention as a girl's name.
