Dandre is a contemporary American coinage that joins the prefix De- or D' to the name Andre, so its meaning carries over from Andre, 'man, manly'. The variant spelling D'Andre keeps the apostrophe that marks the prefix more clearly.
It belongs to a creative family of prefixed names common in African American naming, where a short prefix reshapes a familiar root into something new while keeping its sound.
Did you know? Dandre joins a De-/D' prefix with Andre, so it carries the sense of 'man' or 'manly' from Andre within a distinctly modern American form.
