I believe this name didn't exist before Barrie invented it for Peter Pan. I find that quite incredible considering how popular it became and the Wendy house. It seems slightly old fashioned now but I have known several 'Wendys'.

Has any other names been invented in the past 200 years that have taken off like this?

After an investigation i have found that a "wain" is a wagon or cart and a "wayne" is a maker of wagons and carts.

Professions and trades were usually surnames, not first names but it's good to know that a Wayne made hay wains :)
