Sander Origin and Meaning
The name Sander is a girl's name meaning "defending men".
Sander would be an unconventional short form of Alexandra, variation of Sandra, or surname-name for girls. It was given to 41 baby boys in the US last year but no girls, but it certainly can be a gender-neutral choice.
