History & Origin

Liandra reworks Leandra, feminine of the Greek Leander, 'lion man,' from 'leon' and 'andros.' The Li- spelling softens the classical name and links it to Lia, part of the modern taste for flowing -andra names.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak around 2000. A girl named Liandra then is in her mid-twenties today, a rare and graceful cousin of Leandra and Alessandra.

Did you know? Through Leander, Liandra reaches back to the Greek myth of Leander, who swam the Hellespont nightly for love of Hero.
