Wendylee is an American origin name coined by author Frank Yerby for his novel "The Foxes of Harrow" in 1946. Its meaning is not explicitly defined, but some people associate it with the combination of 'Wendy' (friend or wished-for child) and 'Lee' (gracious or from Lebanon), suggesting it could mean 'gracious friend' or 'wished-for child from Lebanon'. Despite its unclear origins and meaning, Wendylee holds a unique charm and is often associated with Southern Gothic literature.
