The fast-food joint was named after Dave, the founder's daughter Melinda “Wendy” Thomas. Her childlike countenance became the face of the company and is still used in Wendy's logo, with some modifications of course.

According to The Sun, a spokesperson for Wendy's previously said: 'We are aware of this and find it interesting that it appears our Wendy cameo has 'mom' on her ruffled collar. We can assure you it was unintentional. '

Melinda Lou "Wendy" Thomas. Dave Thomas said he regretted naming the chain after his daughter. The full name he chose – “Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers” – evoked nostalgia, and his choice of a young child to serve as a brand character was a long tradition in American branding.

Fans believe that Wendy's collar spells out 'Mom' in a nod to the company's humble home-cooked roots. However, before you invest yourself in the logo's secret meaning too much, a spokesperson for Wendy's has denied that the Easter egg was intentional.

Denny Lynch, Wendy's senior vice president of communications said, "We are aware of this and find it interesting that it appears our Wendy cameo has 'mom' on her ruffled collar. We can assure you it was unintentional." Lynch said a design firm created the logo for the company.

As a child, she was unable to pronounce her L's and R's, struggling with her own name Melinda, and so became known by her nickname Wendy (with the pen-pin merger). The eight-year-old would eventually become the namesake of her father's restaurant Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers, or just "Wendy's" for short.

She is the primary female character in the show, and is best known for her on-again, off-again relationship with her boyfriend Stan Marsh. Being more intelligent and mature than most children her age, Wendy finds expression in her activism and feminism.

It was the brainchild of Dave Thomas, who launched the first Wendy's restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, in 1969. The iconic Wendy's logo featured a smiling redheaded girl that looked similar to Thomas's daughter, who also inspired the restaurant's name.
