How to Pronounce Kendarrius
Pronounced ken-DAIR-ee-us /kɛnˈdɛriəs/Low
Meaning: Kendarrius fuses the familiar Ken- (as in Kenneth or Kendrick) with Darius. Darius comes from the Old Persian Darayavaush, 'holding firm the good' or 'possessing goodness,' the name of Persian kings. Kendarrius sets that regal root behind a Ken- opening and a Latin-style -ius ending, so it inherits Darius's meaning in a distinctly modern form.Low

History & Origin
Kendarrius belongs to the -arius family of African American boys' names built on Darius, alongside Jadarious, Demarius and Kentavious. It fronts that ancient Persian root with the popular Ken- element, so it reads as a modern coinage anchored to a genuinely old name. It was given to only a few boys.
Kendarrius had its small peak around 2002, given to only about fourteen boys in its peak year. A boy named Kendarrius then is in his early twenties today, a Generation Z name.
