History & Origin

Deondray is a longer spin on Deondre and Deandre, which set the popular De- prefix in front of Andre (from Greek Andreas, 'manly, brave'). The added -ay tail marks it as a personal, inventive variant.

It never spread far, given to only about fifteen boys a year at its peak around 1990. A Deondray from that time would be in his thirties now, squarely a millennial.

Did you know? Names built on the De- prefix flowered in African-American naming from the nineteen-seventies on; Deondray is one of the more ornate members of that creative family.
