History & Origin

Leandrew is best read as a blend name, joining Lee or the classical Leander with Andrew, a naming habit common in Black and Southern families in the early-to-mid twentieth century. It carries Andrew's Greek sense of 'manly, brave.'

It was never a common name in the United States, given to only about twenty boys a year even at its modest peak around 1959, and it has stayed rare since. A boy named Leandrew then would be in his sixties today.

Did you know? Leandrew is one of many mid-century American coinages that fuse two names into one; here Lee or Leander meets Andrew, giving a boy a longer, ceremonial-sounding first name.
