The Wikipedia articles that I gave you explain that:
~ Wends seem to derive their name from Wendland
~ The name of Wendland seems to be connected to the Vandals
The dictionary.com site claims that "wend" is derived from the German Wende -> Middle High German Winde/Wende -> Old High German Winid. And they direct you to check up the meaning of "wen" in Indo-European Roots.
Or, to put it shortly, bluntly and rather rudely, because I am stuck at work at 6:40 pm -- I pointed you to what I know, but I am not going to do your research for you!

Here's the direct link to the aforementioned Indo-European root wen: http://snipurl.com/ep6d.
I suggest you bookmark the main page of this dictionary, Bobby: http://snipurl.com/bknk. And, I agree with Ivayla that you should at least try to do your own research, if you absolutely must know that badly.
