Quandra Origin and Meaning

The name Quandra is a girl's name.

Quandra is a feminine given name that appears to be a modern creation, possibly emerging in the United States during the latter half of the 20th century. The name's etymology is not definitively established, but it may be related to names like Kendra or Sandra with a distinctive 'Qu-' beginning. Alternatively, it could be connected to the Latin root 'quad-' meaning 'four' or 'square.' The name has remained relatively uncommon in usage statistics, never appearing in the top 1000 names recorded by the Social Security Administration. Quandra has a distinctive sound with the emphasis typically on the first syllable (QUAN-dra). Without clear etymological documentation, it's best understood as part of the trend toward creative, distinctive naming that gained momentum in American naming practices during the late 20th century. The name's uniqueness gives it a special quality for those who bear it.
