Peter Pan

Peter Pan is a fictional character created by J. M. Barrie, and the name of a stage play, a children's book, and various adaptations of them. The character is a little boy who refuses to grow up, and spends his time having magical adventures.

Wendy

Barrie is sometimes said to have "invented" the name Wendy with this story. In fact, the name was already in use in both the United States and Britain, but was extremely rare. The Peter Pan stories popularized the name, at first in Britain. Wendy is related to the Welsh name Gwendydd (pronounced Gwen-deeth), and was used by Barrie at a time when Welsh names were making a resurgence in England.
