Wendy Thomas Melinda Lou "Wendy" Thomas-Morse (born September 14, 1961) is the daughter of American businessman Dave Thomas, the founder of the fast food brand Wendy's. She is the namesake and mascot of the brand. She uses the name Wendy Thomas in her role as a spokesperson for Wendy's.

Wendy's first Old-Fashioned Hamburger Restaurant was inaugurated in 1969, at Columbus, Ohio. The fast-food joint was named after Dave, the founder's daughter Melinda “Wendy” Thomas.

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.
