History & Origin

Deandra is a twentieth-century American coinage. The De- prefix has been used since at least the mid-century to build new names, especially in African American naming; Andra belongs to the Andrew family, from Greek andreios, 'manly, brave.' Deandra is the feminine partner to Deandre, and the pair are among the best-established of these coinages (said 'dee-AN-druh').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. today. Rare, modern, and warm.

Did you know? The De- prefix is one of the great engines of modern American naming - Deandre, Deshawn, Dejuan - and Deandra is its feminine counterpart, built on Andra.
