History & Origin
Reshonda is a coined American girls' name pairing a Re- prefix with Shonda or Rhonda. Its parents are themselves modern inventions, so Reshonda's charm is its rolling three-beat sound rather than a dictionary root, in the inventive style of its era.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year from the late nineteen-sixties into the nineties. A girl named Reshonda at its high point would be in her fifties now.
