History & Origin
Deondra is a coined name in the African American De- tradition, joining that prefix to a form of Andre or Ondra, from the Greek andr-, meaning man or warrior. Names like Deandre, Deonte and Deondra flourished from the nineteen-seventies onward, turning a familiar root into distinctive, rhythmic names. Used for boys, Deondra appears in United States birth records with a small high around nineteen-ninety.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year at its peak, so a Deondra from then would be in his thirties today. It also sees some use for girls, and it reads as a confident coinage close to the popular Deandre.
