History & Origin
Joandra is a fused feminine name, marrying a Jo- syllable to Andrea, the feminine form of Andrew whose Greek root means 'manly, brave.' Popular in the blend-loving naming style of Spanish-speaking communities, it appears only rarely in the United States, a graceful pairing of two familiar names.
American records show it faintly across the later twentieth century, given to about twenty girls a year at its high in the early nineteen-nineties. A girl named Joandra then is in her thirties today.
