Keandra
Pronounced kee-AN-druh /kiːˈæn.drə/Medium
Meaning: Keandra is a modern American coinage that joins the popular Ke- opening to the -andra ending shared by Kendra, Deandra and Diandra — a pattern that ultimately echoes the Greek Alexandra, 'defender.' It is a sound-built name rather than one carrying a single inherited meaning, most common in African American families of its era.Low

History & Origin
Keandra is a coinage of the late-twentieth-century naming imagination, pairing the fashionable Ke- prefix with the -andra tail of Kendra and Deandra. It surfaces in the records from the mid-1970s, reached its high point around 1994, and slipped back through the 2010s. Its meaning lives in the sound and its family resemblances rather than a traceable etymology.
With a peak around 1994, a Keandra today is typically in her late twenties or thirties — a Millennial-era name. It reads as a name of its moment rather than a vintage revival, and it remains uncommon. Parents who like it also like Kendra, Deandra and Kiara; the three even beats give it a graceful monogram and it sits well beside siblings such as Jalen or Sierra.
