History & Origin

Cadedra is an inventive African American girl's name with no fixed traditional meaning; the likeliest reading elaborates Deidra or Dedra with a Ca- prefix. It appears in United States records for a brief window, reaching its tiny high in the mid-1990s.

It was extremely rare, given to only a handful of girls across just a few years, so a Cadedra from then would be about thirty. We flag its origin as uncertain rather than invent one; it reads as a personal coinage, near Deidra and Kadeja.

Did you know? Cadedra reads as a wholly invented name, its -dedra core echoing Deidra while the Ca- opening makes it unmistakably its own.
