Actress. (I cheated - looked it up in my old Leslie Dunkling name dictionary, that cites influences like this)

It was also popular (says Dunkling) in the 80s with black American parents. I think maybe as part of a sound-trend along with other -onda names

Oh yeah, somehow I forgot it sounds similar to names like Rhonda, Yolanda, Rolanda, Fernanda.

Wow. I’ve never heard of her, but she’s very pretty.
