History & Origin

Leandrea elaborates Leandra, the feminine of the Greek Leander, a name combining leon, 'lion', with andros, 'man'. It also shares territory with Deandrea and Andrea. The extra ending lengthens the name into a graceful, melodic form typical of late-century feminine coinages.

Leandrea was consistently rare, cresting near 1984 at about thirty girls a year and lingering thinly into the 2010s. It fits the era's love of long, vowel-rich girls' names; a Leandrea born at its peak would be about forty now, and it remains an uncommon, distinctive choice.

Did you know? Buried in Leandrea is a lion: the Greek Leander joins 'leon', lion, with 'andros', man, so this soft, four-syllable girls' name carries a surprisingly fierce old meaning.
