History & Origin

Chrisandra is a blend of Chris and Sandra. The Chris- element comes from Christ- names such as Christina, while Sandra is a short form of Alexandra, 'defender of people.' The name reads as an elegant twentieth-century coinage that let parents nod to two names at once. It stayed rare, cresting at only about fifteen girls a year around 1982.

A Chrisandra from its peak would be in her forties today. Its smooth three-beat sound sits beside Cassandra, Alexandra, and Sandra - the -andra girl names - and it reads as a refined vintage blend. It shortens to Chris, Sandy, or Andi.

Did you know? Chrisandra neatly folds two mid-century staples together, so a family with a Chris and a Sandra could honor both at once in a single daughter's name.
