Brenda
Torch-meaning name
Brenda is a feminine given name, popular in English-speaking countries from the mid-20th century onward.
It peaked in the 1940s–60s and now carries a somewhat dated feel: My aunt Brenda still sends birthday cards.
In internet slang, Brenda sometimes serves as a placeholder name for a generic middle-aged woman, similar to Karen but without the entitled connotations.
