Meaning: Its source is rhon da, a Welsh name meaning "Good lance."

Popularity: The name Larhonda ranked 2315th in popularity for females of all ages in a sample of the 1990 US Census.

Though this name appears on the 1990 U.S. Census lists, it is used by only a small percentage of the general population.

Narrative: Given the late appearance of this name, which only became popular in the 20th century, some authorities favor a derivation from the name of the River Rhondda (meaning ''noisy'') in Wales.
