Mendy
A boys’ name with no widely documented etymology — two syllables, given to 40 babies a year in the US.
Mendy by the numbers
In 2025, 3 babies in England and Wales were named Mendy. In the US, 40 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 172 babies in 1974, so it is a 1970s name that has since fallen a long way.
What we can tell you about Mendy

Plenty are coined rather than inherited — invented outright, blended from two names, or respelled from an older one — and where we cannot find an etymology we can stand behind, we would rather say so than make one up. What follows comes from the birth records themselves.
