I was reading a book about ghosts and this was the name of a teenaged girl from the 1940's. At first I thought it was a typo for
Janet
, until they kept on repeating it. To me it looks like her parents couldn't decide between
Wanda
or
Janet

My name book lists Wanetta as an Old English name, from the same root as the word 'wan'.
