History & Origin
Avondre is a coined name rather than an inherited one, most plausibly joining Avon, a Celtic word for 'river,' to the -dre ending of Andre and Deandre. Names of this shape were a creative, individualizing trend in Black communities in the late twentieth century, so its meaning lies mainly in its sound.
It never became common, given to only about sixteen boys a year around its high in 1994. A man named Avondre then is about thirty today.
