History & Origin

Aundra links to Andre and Andrew, from Greek andreios, 'manly, brave', while its Aun- opening mirrors Saundra. As a boys' name it belongs to the inventive respellings that flourished in twentieth-century American naming, especially among Black families.

It stayed rare, cresting in the late 1960s, and has thinned since. Aundra reads as a distinctive vintage form of Andrew rather than a name with a current revival.

Did you know? The Aun-/Aundr- spellings flourished in mid-century Black American naming, giving fresh forms of the classic Andrew/Andre family a distinctive look.
