Kendra Origin and Meaning

The name Kendra is a girl's name of English origin meaning "handsome or knowing".

Kendra was once seen as a feminization of Kenneth -- but it's now firmly established as a standalone. American parents can't seem to make up their mind about it though: it was one of 2013's fastest-rising names, entering the Top 200 for the first time since 2000, but then it tumbled again.

Today, Kendra is settling into fashionable classic territory, still an attractive choice for families looking to honor an ancestral Kenneth.
