What does the name Wendy mean in the Bible?

Wendy is not in the Bible and therefore cannot have a biblical meaning. There is no evidence, furthermore, that the name was used before J.M. Barrie's play was written, except perhaps as a nickname. Names that have "roots" in the Bible are not the same as names that appear in the Bible.
