There was this chick in one of the off-Broadway shows I worked at in college and her name was Funda (the "u" is pronounced like the "oo" sound in "book"). I don't know why but I randomly thought of her last night and I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about her name. I think she is Turkish, but if anyone can verify the origin of the name and if anyone knows the meaning of Funda, please let me know!

And while I would probably never use the name on any of my own children, I have to say that for some reason it really worked for her. :)

Well I know 'funda' is a Zulu word that means 'learn' or 'read'. I've never heard it used as a name though. It might have a different meaning somewhere else.

I fully expected to see a response punning on "reading is funda-mental" (whew!)
