History & Origin

Keondra is an invented name built from the fashionable Ke- prefix and the -ondra ending of Kendra and Deondra. It belongs to the long run of coined African American names, here cresting later than most, in the nineteen-nineties, when prefix-and-suffix creativity was still strong.

Keondra reached its high point around 1996 and then thinned out. A girl named Keondra at the peak is now approaching thirty. It has not revived and reads as a nineties coinage; it shortens neatly to Keon or Kea and rhymes with Kendra.

Did you know? Keondra pairs the same Ke- prefix seen in Keon and Keyondra with the Kendra-style ending, a mix-and-match habit that produced dozens of fresh African American names; it peaked around 1996.
