History & Origin
Charonda is a coinage of sound, setting the soft Cha- opening in front of Ronda or Rhonda. Names built this way flourished in the later twentieth century, when a familiar ending plus a stylish prefix could make a name feel both new and recognizable.
It never became common, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak around 1982 before quickly fading. A girl named Charonda then is in her forties today.
